Michael Brecker - A giant in both size and his mastery of the tenor saxophone, constantly evolving his style. After the "bebop" and "post-bop" eras, Brecker, the "Modernist," introduced a remarkable palette of new ideas and techniques to the jazz vocabulary. He was a master at using "superimposed" chords to create new, colorful, and surprising sounds on his instrument. Considered by many as the best and most cutting-edge jazz musician of the modern era, Brecker is a legend among saxophonists.
