David used to go to Art Shell Music on 48th Street in NY to get his horn repaired…I managed the guitar shop there. When I heard him playing, I’d go upstairs to say hello. He was as kind, talented and personable a person as you could ever meet! His unique sound always stood out, and his jazz licks were always tasteful, powerful and memorable. Bless you brother - Your music lives on!
Last week, I cried tears of sadness. Now this week, they are tears of joy for all the happiness his music gave me. Rest In Peace & Power, David Sanborn. Thank you for sharing your gifts to us.
Hopefully David and Hiram Bullock have reunited in the after world for a heavenly jam session. RIP Mr. Sanborn. Thanks for some of the greatest live music memories of my lifetime.
Hiram Bullock was the guy who turned me on to replacing the standard single coil pickups on a Stratocaster with Gibson Custom 57 pickups (the Wes Montgomery pickup) that gave him a sound no one else had. RIP.
"Chicago Song" is still one of my all-time favorites. So, is the city, by the way! We David Sanborn fans are extremely grateful to have shared the planet with him. R.I.P, David Sanborn.
What a band! So many great memories from back in the day seeing them live in the Chicagoland area. Hiram was one of the greatest performers I've ever seen, his energy was infectious and his crowd roaming forays were legendary. Sanborn was a master in finding the right components for his music. The Chicago Song was a perfect title.
A high tide lifts all boats, David your musical genius always brought out the best in everyone...a true gentleman and a great human RIP. Thank you for sharing your life with us...❤
I heard this song for the first time at the Park West in Chicago. David announced his newest song had no title so he said we'll call it the Chicago Song.
Has it been 7 years?! Holy crap!! I'm still listening to this. Must admit, as a sax player myself, David Sanborn is my idol, and this is probably my favorite of all.
David was my saxophone idol. I love this song. Tried to play it as a teenager. Couldn't master it. But, The Dream, was easier to play. He was one of the most eloquent jazz musicians to have impacted my life. Thanks, David. Sweet dream.
THE HARDEST WORKING SAXOPHONE ON THE PLANET. SO BLESSED TO HAVE HAD THE WONDERFUL PRESENCE OF DAVID SANBORN SMOOTH THE AIRWAVES FOR MUCH OF MY LIFE. I WAS INTRODUCED TO HIM WITH CARLYS SONG FROM HIS HIDEAWAY ALBUM WHICH INTRODUCED ME TO SMOOTH JAZZ. REST WELL KIND SIR AND THANKYOU.
Just heard. Chicago Song was the first one I heard from David Sanborn on 93.9 FM Love 94 when I first moved to South Florida in 1995 and got hooked on smooth jazz. Been a favorite of mine ever since. RIP David Sanborn. ❤😢
I would wish, I could see David , Jr. Walker and Tower of Power pack a stage with horns. On this tune David lays down that vein in the forehead popping blast. Wow baby, I don't get enough of this and that band.
What an amazing array of talent on one stage! Who wouldn't want to be a part of that? David Sanborn is killing it, as usually, and every single one of the band members is a star - AND can sing! They just don't come like that anymore...
OH my gosh, I forgot this great song, Chicago Song. Excellent is putting it mildly. So grateful to have all David's music at the tap of a bottom. Thank you David Sanborn. You were loved!😪
Pedro Dias I agree. They don't understand the genius behind it. They think jazz is old people's music but they don't listen to the complexity of it. Then again, people hear what they see.
I still have this on vinyl and listen to it all the time. I saw these cats at Ravinia in Highland Park, Illinois. Hiram was very athletic, He did a forward flip onto the stage which couldn't have been easy for his big self. He died too young. RIP.
I was there !! This live was Jazz festival named "Live under the sky" in Tokyo. this is one of my best Daivd Sanborn 's band live pafomance. I deeply remenbered that Hiram Bulock was running down from stage !! He was so cool !!
I saw them do this on The Pier next to the USS Intrepid in NYC. It was just getting dark, and the ship & the NY skyline lights were coming on....it was an incredible summer night....
I saw the Sanborn Band perform our Maritime Center similar to what you experienced just as harbour lights were coming. It was visually stunning. I got to meet and talk with Mr. Sanborn and the band afterwards. Really awesome. I've been a fan since childhood and because of him and Grover Washington Jr. along with bands like Chicago and Earth Wind & Fire I learned to play saxophone.
David Sanborn was really hip, people didn't need disco-music for dancing ... :D Always with top-musicians in the band, the chemistry was there from the first bar. Nowadays Snarky Puppy walk in these footsteps but I still love DS.
+snowstorm5590 It's also why he plays out of the side of his mouth and apparently why he chose alto over tenor. I've always thought that he had a very "tenor" sound for an alto player.
Sanborn spent much of his youth in an Iron Lung and because of the Polio, is stuntet in his left lower leg and requires a built up shoe to correct his gait
As we say in the South, Lawdy Mercy!!! Wonderfully high spirited song. Just heard the song on Jazz Chanel & looked it up. Blown away. Lifted my spirits. ( setting in wheelchair /fractured hip & foot but that song made my arms dance) the power of music!!😊👌
am following him almost from the beginning and he stays one of the best saxplayers around, really amasing, perfect cocktail together with the other musicians
Thank you Mr. Sanborn for a song bearing the title of my favorite city, which happens to be my hometown...Man, I LOVE this song.....it's what you want to hear driving through the Loop during lunch hour break....love it...
didn't know he had these disabilities.. kinda fits.. most kids with disabilities don't get out much. if they take up an instrument they practice a lot which later pays off... Kevin Duvernay ******@****
A lot of people don't know that David was also advised by his doctor to take up a woodwind instrument to help with his breathing and he chose the Saxaphone....The rest is History as they say :)
HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. RIP DAVID, YOUR MUSIC LIFTED US ALL
Yes it did...Voyeur was my introduction to jazz
David used to go to Art Shell Music on 48th Street in NY to get his horn repaired…I managed the guitar shop there. When I heard him playing, I’d go upstairs to say hello. He was as kind, talented and personable a person as you could ever meet! His unique sound always stood out, and his jazz licks were always tasteful, powerful and memorable. Bless you brother - Your music lives on!
lovely memory to have, his music resonated with millions,
Great story. Thanks for sharing!
Last week, I cried tears of sadness. Now this week, they are tears of joy for all the happiness his music gave me. Rest In Peace & Power, David Sanborn. Thank you for sharing your gifts to us.
Ditto
LEGEND Jazz Horn 🎉 EXCELLENT.
Hiram and David, it's just so weird when your teenage hero's just cease to exist. They were great, thanks!
I totally understand!!
I agreed!
One of God’s Greatest Gifts to the Music World! Thank you David ♥️R.I.P.
Yes, the greatest!!!
REST IN PEACE DAVID. Thanks for the great sounds in my car as I drove around Philadelphia back in the day.
When this song was released I adopted David as a Chicagoan. I had already recognized him as a genius. He will be so missed. Rest in peace, dear sir.
He is a St.Louis legend!!!
Hopefully David and Hiram Bullock have reunited in the after world for a heavenly jam session.
RIP Mr. Sanborn. Thanks for some of the greatest live music memories of my lifetime.
Immaculate taste and dripping with funk.
I grew up listening to David Sanborn. I met him backstage once. It was a huge pleasure.
Sanborn surrounded himself with the BEST MUSICIANS!
Rest in Power beloved Brother David, you were one of a kind🙏🏽🌹🕊️🎷🎶
The legendary Hiram Bullock on guitar no less!
He is sorely missed!
Love this jam!
Another great written by legendary bassist and composer Marcus miller
How he managed to capture a city with a song is brilliant!
Hiram Bullock was the guy who turned me on to replacing the standard single coil pickups on a Stratocaster with Gibson Custom 57 pickups (the Wes Montgomery pickup) that gave him a sound no one else had. RIP.
So True! About Hiram's Sound
Rip David!❤️
Rest in peace Hiram Bullock...dude was a bad man!!
RIP David Sanborn. Such a loss
"Chicago Song" is still one of my all-time favorites. So, is the city, by the way!

Senin müziklerinle büyüdük devid baba nur içinde yat Allâh rahmet eylesin
WHAT A SOUND! RIP David!
I Absolutely Love David Sanborn!!! My Favorite Jazz Artist!!!
Sanborn is killing it. No one has more fun that Hiram.
Gotta be Rickie Peterson on keys. Just to hear him sing for a second is awesome.
I heard this song for the first time at the Park West in Chicago. David announced his newest song had no title so he said we'll call it the Chicago Song.
I never tire of this clip, every Musician upon that stage being of Inter-Stellar quality
Born in 1989 and this song is awesome! Hey, I am listening to this in 2017!! :D
Hey,... 2024!! 🎶
Has it been 7 years?! Holy crap!! I'm still listening to this. Must admit, as a sax player myself, David Sanborn is my idol, and this is probably my favorite of all.
mine to!!!
RIP Mr. Sanborn. So much joy given. My favorites were Hideaway and Streight from the Heart. Actually all his music ❤
David was my saxophone idol. I love this song. Tried to play it as a teenager. Couldn't master it. But, The Dream, was easier to play. He was one of the most eloquent jazz musicians to have impacted my life. Thanks, David. Sweet dream.
THE HARDEST WORKING SAXOPHONE ON THE PLANET. SO BLESSED TO HAVE HAD THE WONDERFUL PRESENCE OF DAVID SANBORN SMOOTH THE AIRWAVES FOR MUCH OF MY LIFE. I WAS INTRODUCED TO HIM WITH CARLYS SONG FROM HIS HIDEAWAY ALBUM WHICH INTRODUCED ME TO SMOOTH JAZZ. REST WELL KIND SIR AND THANKYOU.

Peaceful journey Brotha Sanborn fly high!
Hiram's some bad ass ...Damn that dude could play ....RIP!!!.....
The greatest Sax Player, saw him at Hammersmith Odeon
Hiaram Bullock was one of the funkiest lead guitar players "ever" his demise shocked me to the core.
That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger...for David Sanborn for sure!
I would wish, I could see David , Jr. Walker and Tower of Power pack a stage with horns. On this tune David lays down that vein in the forehead popping blast. Wow baby, I don't get enough of this and that band.
1st concert I took my 2 sons in Elgin IL. Unforgettable and life changing experiment for us 3... R.I.P.
David Sanborn is a sax genius and his band in this video is awesome! Love this number!!!
Heartbreaking 💔 The Dream will forever remain and inspire. Rest well David.
The whole band is complete FIRE!
That's what I was thinking. I was sitting here watching this going, "man, those whole band is absolutely Crushing it!!"
Great performance, great musicians, great song...
HAPPY BRTHDAY (70th) DAVID!!!
(born on July 30th, 1945)
David had such a signature sound and musicality. This band is off the dam chain.
Hiram is off the hook. RIP my Brotha. Seen Sanborn many times back in the eighties when he started his GOAT journey. The man is a real treasure.
One of the greatest live performances out there. David Sanborn's the g.o.a.t!
never get tired of this song!!!
素晴らしい音楽をありがとうございました😭
R.I.P デビット・サンボーンは永遠に不滅です♾️

RIHP will miss your creative musical genius on the saxophone. ❤❤❤❤😢😢😢😢
I was at a Hiram Bullock concert in Chicago years ago. It was one of the most well paced and musically enriching concerts I have seen.
R.I.P David Sanborn..... forever will be missed
What an amazing array of talent on one stage! Who wouldn't want to be a part of that?
David Sanborn is killing it, as usually, and every single one of the band members is a star - AND can sing!
They just don't come like that anymore...
OH my gosh, I forgot this great song, Chicago Song. Excellent is putting it mildly. So grateful to have all David's music at the tap of a bottom. Thank you David Sanborn. You were loved!😪
That bass intro was badass.
WTF very tight, very flawless live performance!
Your music will live forever, thank you Mr. Sanborn.
today hardly anyone enjoys a sound like this
Pedro Dias I agree. They don't understand the genius behind it. They think jazz is old people's music but they don't listen to the complexity of it. Then again, people hear what they see.

It’s criminal
But I do :)
I still like Coltrane
David Sanborn IS THE smooth in Jazz. RIP David!
R.I.P Brother David Sanborn😇🎷

I was there !! This live was Jazz festival named "Live under the sky" in Tokyo.
this is one of my best Daivd Sanborn 's band live pafomance.
I deeply remenbered that Hiram Bulock was running down from stage !! He was so cool !!
Mr Sanborn is one of the greatest ever!
Thanks for the Music and the Smooth David
I saw them do this on The Pier next to the USS Intrepid in NYC. It was just getting dark, and the ship & the NY skyline lights were coming on....it was an incredible summer night....

RIP DS ONE OF FUNKYEST JAMS OF OUR TME MR.G FUNKYSKATESPRODUCTIONS NY AND I HAVE THIS ALBUM
David Sanborn was really hip, people didn't need disco-music for dancing ... :D Always with top-musicians in the band, the chemistry was there from the first bar. Nowadays Snarky Puppy walk in these footsteps but I still love DS.
何度聞いても、サンボーンはもちろんだけどバンドのグルーヴがヤバい‼トムバーニーがいいグルーヴ出してるし🎵
It would be tremendous and would love to watch a trio with Kenny Lee, Candy Dulfer and David Sanborn playing altogether! Wonderful!
Amazing!!! My respect from Brazil.
David suffered from poliomyelitis as a kid. The doctor told him to start playing an instrument to strengthen his lungs. The rest is history.
+snowstorm5590 It's also why he plays out of the side of his mouth and apparently why he chose alto over tenor. I've always thought that he had a very "tenor" sound for an alto player.
Thank- You DAVID TOO YOU"".
Now in his seventies he’s experiencing respiratory problems which can occur later in life for victims of childhood polio.
Sanborn spent much of his youth in an Iron Lung and because of the Polio, is stuntet in his left lower leg and requires a built up shoe to correct his gait
He has the brightest, edgiest tone I've ever heard on a saxophone.
mon morceaux préféré je l'ai écouté des centaines de fois et ça continu merci mr sanborn!!
I never get tired of this, superb!❤️💎🎶🎷🔥🔊👌
This is one badass assembly of a Band!!!!!!!!!!!
RIP Uncle Don Alias and the rest!!!
Absolutamente increíble!!!!!!que saxo!! Y que pedazos de músicos!!!..Alucinante!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Last heard this when my vinyl went into the loft - hearing it again is just mind blowing. It was good in the eighties its even better I'm 50!!!
As we say in the South, Lawdy Mercy!!! Wonderfully high spirited song. Just heard the song on Jazz Chanel & looked it up. Blown away. Lifted my spirits. ( setting in wheelchair /fractured hip & foot but that song made my arms dance) the power of music!!😊👌
am following him almost from the beginning and he stays one of the best saxplayers around, really amasing, perfect cocktail together with the other musicians
Thank you Mr. Sanborn for a song bearing the title of my favorite city, which happens to be my hometown...Man, I LOVE this song.....it's what you want to hear driving through the Loop during lunch hour break....love it...
A lot of people don't know that Sanborn had polio as a child.His right hand has only 70% mobility and he's blowing on one lung! Incredible!!
didn't know he had these disabilities.. kinda fits.. most kids with disabilities don't get out much. if they take up an instrument they practice a lot which later pays off...

***** Disabilities are just obstacles to make you jump higher...
wow!!!
A lot of people don't know that David was also advised by his doctor to take up a woodwind instrument to help with his breathing and he chose the Saxaphone....The rest is History as they say :)
Yes. A true hero!
RIP Hiram a great player and showman
Yeah! I was there. First time in my life to see Sanborn. I missed Live Under The Sky.
Soy saxofonista y adoro a David Sanborn. Great !!
