Saxophonist Michael Brecker, who contributed to several FZ recordings including Zappa In New York, has died of leukemia at the age of 57. (And yes, this page has read like an obituary column lately… let’s hope it doesn’t stay that way!)

Sad news, a true genius has left us. Hope he will find happiness out there.
