Saxophonist Charles Brackeen (born 1940) produced some very fine records in the eighties, like Worshippers come nigh and Bannar, in a band with Fred Hopkins or Malachi Favors and the fantastic Dennis Gonzalez. He also appeared on records by Paul Motian and he was married to a great pianoplayer who still bears his name, Joanne Brackeen. But what has become of him? I can't find any cd's of him since the nineties. Anyone who knows, please let me know. I consider Mr Brackeen's contribution to jazz as very important.
Thanks

Charles Brackeen is great but sadly retired from music, never heard from again and reported dead but I cannot confirm this as fact. Worshippers is a fine record such a shame he wasnt able to build on this.
