Ode to a Tenor Titan: The Life and Times and Music of Michael Brecker


Bill Milkowski - 2021
    For those coming of age in the 1970s, during that transitional decade when the boundaries between rock and jazz had begun to blur, Brecker stood as a transcendent figure. He was their Trane. Ode to a Tenor Titan follows Michael's story from growing up in Philadelphia, finding his tenor sax voice during his brief stint at Indiana University, making his move to New York City in 1969 and taking the Big Apple by storm through the sheer power of his monstrous chops on the instrument. A commanding voice in jazz for four decades, Brecker possessed peerless technique (a byproduct of his remarkable work ethic and relentless woodshedding) and an uncanny ability to fit into every musical situation he encountered, whether it was as a ubiquitous studio musician (more than nine hundred sessions) for such pop stars as Paul Simon, James Taylor, Bruce Springsteen, Todd Rundgren, Chaka Khan, and Steely Dan; playing with seminal fusion bands like Dreams, Billy Cobham, and the Brecker Brothers; or collaborating with the likes of Frank Zappa, Charles Mingus, Pat Metheny, and Herbie Hancock. But his biggest triumphs came as a bandleader during the last twenty years of his career, when he produced some of the most challenging, inspired, and visionary modern jazz recordings of his time. A preternaturally gifted player whose facility seemed almost superhuman, he was also modest to a fault and universally beloved by fellow musicians. After coming through a dark decade of heroin addiction, he turned his life around and became a beacon for countless others to lead clean and sober lives. At the peak of his powers, he was struck down by a rare preleukemic blood disease that sidelined him for two and a half years. He got off a sick bed to make a heroic comeback with his swan song, Pilgrimage, which Pat Metheny called "one of the great codas in modern music history" and which earned him a posthumous Grammy Award in 2007. Michael Brecker was a player of tremendous heart and conviction as well a person of rare humility and kindness, and his story is one for the ages.

    It’s playing guitar and riding the wave of Project Viper’s fame forever and ever on, baby.But when a severe case of artist block strikes right as the band starts their sold-out European tour and gears up to produce their next album—His bandmates don’t need to know about that. Shhh.Besides, there’s Fiona, the band’s gorgeous assistant. Dragging her on spur-of-the-moment dashes through European capitals and coaxing out her smile is far more fun than dealing with CJ’s issues.Fiona may be running errands for Project Viper for a living, but as an aspiring comic book artist, she’s all too familiar with the devastation of creative slumps. And although she’s built some solid defenses against CJ, when the unapologetic flirt reveals his crisis to her, half-whispered in the middle of the night… It’s impossible for Fiona to refuse to keep his artist block a secret.Or to stop falling for CJ’s breath-snatching smiles, playful winks, and inviting banter, all of which make it easy to forget about the possibility of a catastrophic fallout should the band find out the truth.Too easy.---Love reading about volatile musicians? High-octane smiles that weaken even the most flirting-proof hearts? No-nonsense young women catching that one elusive love interest? Then look no further (and prepare to flip through the pages at the speed of light).unBREAKable is a sweet rockstar romance. Heat level is PG-13 (kissing, mild sensuality).❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Women line up so he can rock their worlds.Except me.I’m determined to resist Ryan's charms. Who cares if he has striking blue eyes, and a voice that lights me up.

Maybe it's his charming determination to get past my defences.

Behind the Lyrics


Melissa Riddell - 2021
    Needing the serenity and calm of the desert, I spend my afternoons as a DJ rocking the city. It might not be the most glamorous job, but I love the no-frills life and answering only to my cat.That is, until one day, England’s biggest God of Nu Rock walks in like he owns the place, and my boss forces me to interview the arrogant jerk on-air. The entire interview turns into a horrible disaster, but it gets even worse when Viktor sets his sights on me. He thinks he can seduce me with his bedroom eyes, but I’ve dealt with men like him before. I’ll chew him up and spit him out so hard he’ll land back in England, where he belongs.Viktor FarrowWhen I walked into the dumpy little radio station, I’ll admit I didn’t think much of it--until I saw the little angel sitting in front of the microphone with a snarky smile. Yeah, I've made some terrible mistakes in my past, but it’s been years and I’ve cleaned up my act.No drugs. No alcohol. No messing around.Does Angela, the little demon sent to torture me, believe it? That’s a big, fat bloody no. But I have a plan—Operation Angel Seducer. Once it’s sprung, she’ll be putty in my quite capable hands. After all, no woman has ever resisted the lead singer of Angry Gods.
