I won't be able to go myself, but I sure wish I could.
Clicking around following Brecker links this morning, I ran across a very nice tribute video at BirdLives.com, which happens to have been done by Bret Primack, a jazz journalist I used to work with back in the halcyon days of N2K. My first Web job in the big city! Can't believe it's been ten years since I took that job.
