David Sanborn Biography
David Sanborn has been the most influential saxophonist on pop,
R&B, and crossover players of the past 20 years. Most of his
recordings have been in the dance music/R&B vein, although Sanborn
is a capable jazz player. His greatest contributions to music have been
his passionate sound (with its crying and squealing high notes) and his
emotional interpretations of melodies which generally uplift any record
he is on. Unlike his countless number of imitators, Sanborn is
immediately recognizable within two notes. While growing up in St.
Louis, Sanborn played with many Chicago blues greats (including Albert
King) and became a skilled alto saxophonist despite battling polio in
his youth. After important stints with Paul Butterfield (he played with
the Butterfield Blues Band at Woodstock), Gil Evans, Stevie Wonder,
David Bowie, and the Brecker Brothers, Sanborn began recording as a
leader in the mid-'70s and he racked up a string of pop successes. Over
the years he has worked with many pop players but he has made his
biggest impact leading his own danceable bands. Occasionally Sanborn
throws the music world a curve: his eccentric but rewarding Another
Hand, a guest stint with avant-gardist Tim Berne on a 1993 album
featuring the compositions of Julius Hemphill, and a set of ballads
(Pearls) on which he is accompanied by a string orchestra arranged by
Johnny Mandel. For a couple years in the early '90s, Sanborn was the
host of the syndicated television series Night Music which had a very
eclectic lineup of musicians (from Sonny Rollins and Sun Ra to James
Taylor and heavy metal players), most of whom were given the unique
opportunity to play together. It displayed David Sanborn's wide
interest and musical curiosity even if many of his own recordings
remain quite predictable. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
