Pilgrimage 10:02 Release Notes: Next to John Coltrane, Michael Brecker's career spans more than three decades ?and is unquestionably one of the most influential tenor players in the history of jazz. As a result of his stylistic and harmonic innovations, he is the most studied contemporary jazz musician in music schools throughout the world today. Sadly, after a two-and-a-half-year battle with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and leukemia, Brecker passed away on January 13, 2007. 'Pilgrimage', chronicles Brecker's final journey ?one in which the music itself served as a sustaining force. Those present in the studio recall moments when the rigors of recording were so physically taxing ?nearly to the point of collapse ?for the leader whose health was compromised. In the end, it was Brecker's sheer will, and a dedication to completing the recording, that pushed him, his colleagues and the project as a whole across the finish line. 'Pilgrimage' is a singular phenomenon in the annals of recorded music. It's a consummate creative statement with a vision that speaks to us from a place we can't comprehend. It's an invitation to take the spiritual journey of an artist whose legacy will outlast us all.
