Michael Brecker died last night. He had been battling Myelodysplastic Syndrome.
Being of Eastern European Jewish descent made it very difficult to find a donar. So, after a lengthy and publicized search for a donar, they had to attempt an experimental partial matching stem cell transplant sometime in late 2005 or early 2006.
Besides Jazz recordings, he recorded on several well known Rock musician's recordings.
