Product Description: Clocking in at nearly 80 minutes, this posthumous release comprises the last recordings Michael Brecker made before his untimely death in January 2007. Battling the debilitating effects of leukemia, he sought comfort, strength, and transcendence through music. The all-star lineup on Pilgrimage, which includes Herbie Hancock, Brad Mehldau, Pat Metheny, Jack DeJohnette, and John Patitucci, has worked in various combinations over the past four decades. Here, they perform with the compelling group interplay of a longstanding ensemble. Brecker's nine compositions mark the first time he made an album solely of his own material. This is further testament to the creative drive that helped sustain him during his physical decline. From balladry to classic post-bop reveries, Brecker has fashioned one of his finest albums, and certainly his most personal work. The disc closes with the title track, which was also--fittingly--the last number he recorded. Never maudlin, this music and these fine musicians celebrate the power of music to connect human beings to one another, note by note, measure by measure. --David Greenberger

Customer Reviews
Finale: The Last Session
Dying, he dared to live to the last with and in his music. Surrounded by the best of the best, he performed with passion and grace.
I lament the loss; I celebrate the achievement.

Pilgrimage
This is a great cut of the music Michael used to make, a must-have for anybody who liked his music since the Bercker Bros.
I love how contemporaneuos Michael kept himself among musicians and music.
Through his music, Michael Brecker certainly lives forever.

Take a Pilgrimage with Michael Brecker
Remarkable final recording by Michael Brecker, playing at the highest level. This last statement is an appropriate goodbye from Michael and a gift to all who love Jazz.

Michael Brecker Pilgrimage
An album to be kept in our minds for a long time.
In his last work, few months after his death, Michael Brecker surpassed all their past works.
He is brilliant, leading a very talented group, comprised of pianists Herbie Hancock and Brad Mehldau, guitarist Pat Metheny, bassist John Patitucci and drummer Jack DeJohnette.
Only original compositions, Higly recommended.
