Thank you for the insightful and sympathetic comments about Michael Brecker [“Honorable Exit,” October]. Every day as I work, I listen to and come to know the work of countless musicians/composers … thank God for wireless headphones! It’s hard for me to believe that Michael Brecker was dying as I listen to Pilgrimage. I can’t say it any better than you did in your column. Keep up the good work!
