‘I just finished listening to ‘the Comet’s Tail’, The Jazz Surge’s brilliant tribute to Michael Brecker. Throughout my 27 years at WBGO, quite a few ‘tribute’ records have come across my desk. I have to tell you ‘Comet’s Tail’ is certainly one of the finest, capturing the spirit, passion, brilliance and magnificent compositions we all enjoyed through Michael’s genius. An extremely well told tale of this comet!’
-Gary Walker, Music Director, WBGO
