Michael Brecker "Pilgrimage": “Michael has gone up yet another notch with his writing and playing,” said Hancock, who has recorded and performed with Brecker since the ‘80s and appeared on one of Brecker’s biggest selling albums, Nearness of You (2001). “There’s always good news that comes with bad news, and that’s the good news – in spite of his condition, or maybe even because of it, he continues to climb mountains and move forward. That’s the best way to take a poison and turn it into medicine. He’s taken something that’s destructive and turned it into something extremely constructive.” [Astonishing energy in the playing. The writing is amazing.]
