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.
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...❤
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!
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.
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 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.
"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.
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.
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!😪
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.
+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
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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 !!
HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. RIP DAVID, YOUR MUSIC LIFTED US ALL
Yes it did...Voyeur was my introduction to jazz
REST IN PEACE DAVID. Thanks for the great sounds in my car as I drove around Philadelphia back in the day.
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
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.
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!!!
Hiram and David, it's just so weird when your teenage hero's just cease to exist. They were great, thanks!
Rest in Power beloved Brother David, you were one of a kind🙏🏽🌹🕊️🎷🎶

I grew up listening to David Sanborn. I met him backstage once. It was a huge pleasure.
How he managed to capture a city with a song is brilliant!

Rest in peace Hiram Bullock...dude was a bad man!!
The whole band is complete FIRE!
Another great written by legendary bassist and composer Marcus miller
I never tire of this clip, every Musician upon that stage being of Inter-Stellar quality
"Chicago Song" is still one of my all-time favorites. So, is the city, by the way!

David Sanborn.
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
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.
R.I.P. Hiram Bullock. What a great guitarist.
and a great person
and a great person
🙂
It couldn't be more eighties than this!!! :D :D :D

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!!!
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.
I Absolutely Love David Sanborn!!! My Favorite Jazz Artist!!!
The greatest Alto Saxophonist of his generation.
That bass intro was badass.
RIP to a great one
Born in 1989 and this song is awesome! Hey, I am listening to this in 2017!! :D
Hey,... 2024!! 🎶
Hiram's some bad ass ...Damn that dude could play ....RIP!!!.....
RIP DS ONE OF FUNKYEST JAMS OF OUR TME MR.G FUNKYSKATESPRODUCTIONS NY AND I HAVE THIS ALBUM

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♾️
合掌🙏
Hiaram Bullock was one of the funkiest lead guitar players "ever" his demise shocked me to the core.
I will miss him so much. Since High School when I found him in 1976. RIP my guy.
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.
RIP Davis it started in 1973 for me ❤️ ☮️
David Sanborn is a sax genius and his band in this video is awesome! Love this number!!!
Saw Sanborn in late 80's at Santa Barbara County Bowl. Holy talent in real time
Great performance, great musicians, great song...
HAPPY BRTHDAY (70th) DAVID!!!
(born on July 30th, 1945)
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!!!

Yes. A true hero!
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.
What a great musician! I love the saxophone, and loved him playing 🎷🎷 RIP 😢 have a great party up there ❤️ #bowie #sanborn
Wow ...just killin' it!!
Wow! TOM BARNEY on bass!! Thanks for uploading.
Thank You for the information.It's important to know who's playing what.
That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger...for David Sanborn for sure!

It’s criminal
But I do :)
I still like Coltrane

This is one badass assembly of a Band!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah! I was there. First time in my life to see Sanborn. I missed Live Under The Sky.
My fav live version , beyond awesome !!
It would be tremendous and would love to watch a trio with Kenny Lee, Candy Dulfer and David Sanborn playing altogether! Wonderful!
mon morceaux préféré je l'ai écouté des centaines de fois et ça continu merci mr sanborn!!
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!!!
RIP Hiram a great player and showman
