Woke up at 6 to listen again this cd. Michael Brecker, a few months before his death, invites his friends (Hancock, Mehldau, Metheny etc) in the studio and records his testament. He knows he is dying and this is in every note. Nothing sentimental, just pure emotion. I rarely heard something more emotional. Everything is there, the melody, the mystic, the best saxo, tremendous piano. My younger daughter joined me later: "Why are you crying daddy?"

Hi, I really like Pat Metheny (I've seen live twice) and Herbie Hancock. I used to have lots of CD of them.... I'm pretty sure I know Michael Brecker as well. It sounds very familiar to me....
