- Sunday Night, later named Michelob Presents Night Music, is a late-night television show which aired for two seasons between 1988 and 1990 as a showcase for jazz and eclectic musical artists. It was hosted by Jools Holland and David Sanborn, and featured Marcus Miller as musical director. Guests included acts such as Sonny Rollins, Shinehead, Sister Carol, Sonic Youth, Joe Sample, Slim Gaillard, Pere Ubu, Pharoah Sanders, and many others. In addition, vintage clips of jazz legends like Thelonious Monk, Dave Brubeck, and Billie Holiday were also featured. The show also featured a house band of Omar Hakim (drums), Marcus Miller (bass), Philippe Saisse (keys), David Sanborn (sax), Hiram Bullock (guitar), and Jools Holland (piano). The show often allowed its guests ample time to explain the origins of their sound, meaning of songs, etc. It also provided a national audience for lesser known acts (like Arto Lindsay's band The Ambitious Lovers). Hal Willner was the music coordinator, responsible for the interesting musical mix-and-matching that took place on the show.
RIP David Sanborn 1945-2024
This was the greatest show ever on American TV, Some years after the show was off the air I met David Sanborn and told him I thought it was the greatest show he smiled and agreed
Of course, he got to co-host a TV show and play with the greatest musical talent of the day. Who can say they played with Dizzy, Miles Davis, Stanley Turrtine, Ashford & Simpson & etc? David has a resume. 🎷🎺
I also had a chance to speak with Sanborn and Don Was and asked why this show wasn't made available in some fashion. They said that to get the rights from all the assorted players that came through the show, well it was a insurmountable task. Too many people with too many legal holds on their music. The show was one of the greatest, maybe the greatest, ever. The show with Was Not Was, was amazing.
Wow, It's 2020 now and I was surfing through the old Night Music vids, watching Marcus Miller etc when I came on this one with Squeeze. I play Tempted in English pubs on my acoustic - what a treat to hear that sax solo! Fabulous. What a treasure that series was.
In my opinion, the greatest music show ever to appear on television.
So many wonderful musicians have come and gone. This show really chronicles some of the greats and Dave Sanborn was a respectful and humble host who gave homage to them. Sadly, Dave has passed on and joined the choir invisible but his musical contributions will never be forgotten.
what MTV should have been.
Jools Holland and David Sanborn have all the chemistry of a sock and a puddle of water.
I'll bet a chemical analysis of such would actually blow our minds!!
My Sunday Night Therapy for two years in a row Back in the Day eclectic, jazzy,soulful,poetic,rocking and just plain ole cool 😎
Rest in power Hiram Bullock and George Duke🌹
Great musicians in the band! Nobody mentions him (not even in the above notes) but the amazing bass player is TOM BARNEY. A great eclectic bass player, one of my favorites.
Hiram is the MAN
WOW, Sam Moore KILLS in this episode! The house band (especially Hiram) were vibin' so hard during his Otis Redding cover. You Got Me Hummin' was absolutely electric, and his Jackie Wilson cover was a cool way to end it all. 10/10, would recommend to anyone. Thank you for uploading this!
This show was on Sunday night at midnight in Chicago. I never saw it because I had to go to wok the next day this and certain midnight specials are treasures
NBC needs to bring this show back I use to watch this in the 90s
Night Music was such a TV show that caters to jazz music lovers like me. Just watching musicians playing their music instruments brings great memories and is rare today. 🥲😁😄 Glad that Jools kept the concept of the original show, went back to the UK and have his own show. 🎷🎺
This weird thing happened in the 1980s and '90s where the Hammond B-3 went out of fashion. People played these shit synth organ sounds, with none of the myriad avenues of expressiveness the B-3 allowed--different registrations, the rotary speaker and the extraordinary power of switching speeds on same, playing different sounds on the two keyboards, the percussive click, all of it. It's never worse than on this version of Stanley Turrentine's sugar. But a couple of tunes before it, George Duke plays a B-3 with Squeeze. It was right there on the set! Why did't they use it. Fashion can be a terrible thing.
Night Music is a tremendous show but esthetic choices like the one you debscribe make me wish it could have happened in another era. That's absurd of course and we're lucky that it happened at all but the 1989ness of it all is a bit of a drag.
I didn't even notice George Duke sitting there. Why can't this show still be on the air, or on line today with new versions ?
Well, George wouldn't be available now, for one thing.
the last five minutes of this episode is absolute bliss even thought Ashford and Simpson don't get jool's humor
I'm one song in... Wow. Those lyrics really touched my soul! 😮
I think that's George Duke playing organ for squeeze!
Yep. Good catch.
Hiram Bullock on guitar too.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jools took the basic premise of this show and ran back to the U.K. with it. Bravo to him for that and for the audience there and abroad for keeping it(Later..) running. Too bad our audience couldn't do the same, BUT the difference is that there's some currently popular acts in the mix.
No comment
very good thank you
I’ve seen isolated clips but only recently found the whole TV series - it’s a joyous revelation. And you’re exactly right - ‘Later…with Jools Holland’ which was first aired in the UK in 1992 is still running on the BBC in 2022, thirty years later. Very astute move, Jools. 🙏🇬🇧🌞🎺🙏5.2.22.
Incredible musicians and programming. Is there anything like this on tv now?
Wow thank you for uploading all these episodes. It is an amazing show and a show that modern television desperately lacks.
Weird not hearing Paul Carrack singing Tempted
Some networks should pick this up and show the reruns. RIP Mr David Alto sax Sanborn
Windmills. Wooden shoes. Tulips. Dykes. Holland kills this.
No doubt Ashford and Simpson got their chops in choir robes.
Woweeee I've heard that tune b4 wondrous
What is the name of the song at the ending of the program? It was very good./ZEG :-)
Higher and Higher, sung by Jackie Wilson
magic magic
No Difford or Marcus Miller. Who's on bass for Squeeze?
Marcus really raced cars as a hobby! That's where he was.
I don't know but his bass is slightly out of tune
Tom Barney is there for this edition.
Tom Barney is filling in for Marcus Miller in the House Band....
Keith Wilkinson is playing Bass
On the Sqeeze Songs....
What a treat and a treasure! I never saw 'Night Music' when it originally aired-- didn't even know it was on the air. I've only seen clips of it here on UA-cam and know it was a quality show. This is the first time I've viewed an entire episode or even seen one in its entirety on YT. I hope more episodes of the show will be uploaded as I know others had the good sense to tape the shows when it first ran on NBC or repeated years later on BET. Thanks and if you have more, please upload.
