AMG:
Given the heartbreaking context in which this album was released — this was the
final recording by saxophonist Michael Brecker, who died of myelodysplastic
syndrome and leukemia only a few months before its release — there might be a
certain temptation to cut it some slack for sentimental reasons. However,
leniency is hardly needed. Leading a group comprised of jaw-dropping talents
(pianists Herbie Hancock and Brad Mehldau, guitarist Pat Metheny, bassist
John Patitucci, drummer Jack DeJohnette) and playing for the first time a
program consisting entirely of original compositions, Brecker delivers an
emotionally rich and startlingly powerful album of straight-ahead modern jazz
that will stand as his musical epitaph and will effectively confound anyone
who has ever been tempted to dismiss him as a mere jazz-pop fusioneer.
It will also frustrate anyone looking for maudlin emotion or even any obvious
product of existential angst; the only concession to sentiment here is on the title
of a ballad, “When Can I Kiss You Again?,” a quote from Brecker’s teenage son
during a period in his treatment when his family was not allowed to touch him.
But even that track, with its unusual chord progression and sometimes rather
arid solos, retains a core of tough-mindedness within the tenderness.
Most of the rest of the program consists of uptempo and medium-tempo
burners that swing with a powerful sense of urgency and life, and precious little
foreshadowing of the tragedy that all involved knew was soon to come.
This is a brilliant and inspiring album — and would be whether or not it had
anything to do with the death of one of the great figures in American jazz.
This CD was nominated in 2007 for a Grammy award as Best Jazz Instrumental
Album (Individual or Group), and Brecker’s improvisation
on “Anagram” was nominated for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo.
