Reviews
"Ode to a Tenor Titan seems to go deeper than simply another biography. Milkowski clearly has a true respect for Brecker and reminds us that this is a talented artist who should be remembered among the tenor players who inspired him."--Kyle Simpler, All About Jazz, Milkowski's book functions not only as a biography of Brecker, but also as a portrait of the expansive New York City jazz scene of the early to mid-1970s, when the music was moving in various directions at once, with some musicians taking multiple paths. The book is full of intimate observations that draw a colorful picture of a complex artist with issues he had to work through. This book provides an excellent introduction to Brecker and his times., "How can Michael Brecker be the jazz sax hero among other hornplayers, but get so little respect from the critical establishment?A fascinating new book on Michael Brecker by Bill Milkowski, Ode to a Tenor Titan, goes a long way toward answering that question, but even better, this star tenorist is finally treated at length with the kind of discerning analysis he deserves--and has long received, but only in the practice rooms of his acolytes. Their numbers are many."--jazz critic, historian, and author Ted Gioia for his blog, The Honest Broker, "Milkowski's book functions not only as a biography of Brecker, but also as a portrait of the expansive New York City jazz scene of the early to mid-1970s, when the music was moving in various directions at once, with some musicians taking multiple paths. The book is full of intimate observations that draw a colorful picture of a complex artist with issues he had to work through. This book provides an excellent introduction to Brecker and his times." -- ARSC Journal, "Brecker became the most influential saxophonist of the post-John Coltrane generation and he managed to do so without selling out or compromising his creative and artistic integrity. His impact on our world is carefully documented by journalist Bill Milkowski, who was a friend of the subject. Milkowski basically invented this form of biography with his first book JACO: The Extraordinary and Tragic Life of Jaco Pastorius in 1995 and Pat Martino enlisted him as a co-author for Here and Now! The Autobiography of Pat Martino in 2011. Milkowski describes Ode to a Tenor Titan as a "love letter to a pal", but it is important to note that this book doesn't gloss over any of the subject's shortcomings despite their close relationship. It describes Brecker's reaction to the slings and arrows of his life without becoming sensational or maudlin and the entire work is exhaustively researched and documented."--Robert Bush, The New York City Jazz Record
Synopsis
After John Coltrane, there was no more revered and profoundly influential saxophonist on the planet than Michael Brecker. For those coming of age in the 1970s, during that transitional decade when the boundaries between rock and jazz had begun to blur, Brecker stood as a transcendent figure., After John Coltrane, there was no more revered and profoundly influential saxophonist on the planet than Michael Brecker. For those coming of age in the 1970s, during that transitional decade when the boundaries between rock and jazz had begun to blur, Brecker stood as a transcendent figure. He was their Trane. Ode to a Tenor Titan follows Michael's story from growing up in Philadelphia, finding his tenor sax voice during his brief stint at Indiana University, making his move to New York City in 1969 and taking the Big Apple by storm through the sheer power of his monstrous chops on the instrument. A commanding voice in jazz for four decades, Brecker possessed peerless technique (a byproduct of his remarkable work ethic and relentless woodshedding) and an uncanny ability to fit into every musical situation he encountered, whether it was as a ubiquitous studio musician (more than nine hundred sessions) for such pop stars as Paul Simon, James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen, Todd Rundgren, Chaka Khan, and Steely Dan; playing with seminal fusion bands like Dreams, Billy Cobham, and the Brecker Brothers; or collaborating with the likes of Frank Zappa, Charles Mingus, Pat Metheny, and Herbie Hancock. But his biggest triumphs came as a bandleader during the last twenty years of his career, when he produced some of the most challenging, inspired, and visionary modern jazz recordings of his time. A preternaturally gifted player whose facility seemed almost superhuman, he was also modest to a fault and universally beloved by fellow musicians. After coming through a dark decade of heroin addiction, he turned his life around and became a beacon for countless others to lead clean and sober lives. At the peak of his powers, he was struck down by a rare preleukemic blood disease that sidelined him for two and a half years. He got off a sick bed to make a heroic comeback with his swan song, Pilgrimage, which Pat Metheny called "one of the great codas in modern music history" and which earned him a posthumous Grammy Award in 2007. Michael Brecker was a player of tremendous heart and conviction as well a person of rare humility and kindness, and his story is one for the ages.
