Michael Brecker, who had been sick with a particularly complex form of cancer, died today. He won Grammys, played with Joni Mitchell, Horace Silver, and a slew of other jazz and rock musicians.

He had just finished an album two weeks ago. We'll eagerly wait its release.

YouTube, as always at these times, has been flooded with Brecker clips. This one's my favorite so far, a slashing performance of "Madame Toulouse."
