Introduction Hi from Austalia and farewell to Michael Brecker

[matt_styles]

Hi All

I'm a sax player and university lecturer from Australia and thought I'd join in all the great discussions. There are plenty of chat rooms 'around the traps', but this seems the most positive, friendly and encouraging. Thanks Breakfast Room!

In the meantime, some sad news
I hope this isn't true, but fear it is... I've just received a call from my mate in Miami who tells me after a heroic struggle, Michael Brecker has just passed away.... This is a such a blow to jazz and all jazz sax players. I for one think he was the sax player we all needed after Wayne Shorter...

Yes, very sad indeed. He will be missed. On a positive note, you have a very cool name, its stylish! Welcome to the breakfast room.
