Michael Brecker Remembered

(02/02/2007)

29/03/49 – 13/01/07

Michael Brecker died quite suddenly on January 13th 2007 at the oh so young age of 57 and I really can’t come to terms with it. Death is inevitable but premature death is never easy to come to terms with. Call it unfair and I will because Michael Brecker was still at the peak of his creativeness. In the summer of 2005, he was found to have MDS (myelodysplastic syndrome) cancelling all his engagements and undergoing an extended course of chemotherapy. De...

MP3s, The Birds and Andy - The Birds by Andy Sheppard and his forays into the world of the music download

(05/12/2006)

So we’ve all heard about downloading and the digital music boom is so wide spread, that it warrants its own chart in the pages of the music press. We’ve already had the first track to get to number one in the popular chart through downloads alone, Gnarls Barclay’s “Crazy”, so it’s popularity has been proved but I have to admit, I haven’t got a clue what it is about and what to do!! So when I asked a colleague here for the low down, especially...
