I lost my Dad to cancer exactly month before David’s passing and oddly they were the same age. My Dad was a fantastic sax player and we were and are both fans of your channel, Jay. Hope they get the chance to jam together now! Thanks for posting.
R.I.P. David Sanborn. Legends never die. Gratitude for your music and your style. You've trained many generations of saxophonists around the world. The world will miss you. Affectionately your fan. Ever!! 😪
I always admired and thought that Sanborn was of African descent. I heard his music way back from the early 70's and I'm sure his work will still be playing and heard all over the world. RIP!!!
In my opinion, one of the most soulful saxophone players of all time. His sound was unmistakable, and you could feel he put his heart into every note. He was a musical blessing. Rest in peace, Mr. Sandborn.
@@EricBlackmonGuitar I'm still sad that he is no longer with us, but I understand your point. He is truly in a much better place, playing his awesome saxophone in heaven.
My dad took me to a Sanborn concert years back, and at the end David was signing programs and talking with fans. I was still fairly young in my sax journey, just beginning to learn about Joe Allard's theory of embouchure and minimal reed pressure. So while he was signing my program, I asked David how much pressure he applied to the reed. He said a little, but not a whole lot, that it was balacing act. When I admitted I was struggling to find the right balance, he nodded in agreement and laughed. "It's an ongoing experiment!" he said. I find that very heartening that even a legend like Sanborn continued to experiment and find his sound. I'm very grateful he shared that wisdom with me, and that he was humble enough to enjoy talking with his fans. Rest In Peace, David Sanborn. You were the Greatest.
I've been listening to David Sanborn since my high school days in the late 70s. I'm 61 now and still playing. His influence can never be measured. It's heart breaking that he is gone from us now, but his legacy will last. Thanks for this tribute Jay.
RIP Mr Sandborn, your journey on earth is now complete. Go join that heavenly band with Grover Washington, George Duke, Joe Sample, Al Jarreau, David Bowie, Michael and Prince. You will live on through your incredible music.
@@JosephSalinas-r4r Wow, I was genuinely in shock that my favorite Sax player "ever" had passed away, and you took the time to correct me on the spelling of his last name. Thank you ever so much, I will certainly try to not make that mistake again. Please have a wonderful day.
I saw David at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1994. He set the stage on fire with his intensity. To classify him as a jazz musician is to miss the essence of his genius. He was a musician for the Ages and his essence could easily fit within the genres of other music, as he proved again and again throughout his career. We all come and we all go, but it is what we do in between that tells our story. His is one of musical legend. RIP, David. And thanks for visiting us for awhile.
It was a doctor who advised him to play the saxophone when he was a child to strengthen his breathing capacity following a serious illness (poliomyelitis). 😢 🎷🥰
I saw David Sanborn in concert at the Galaxy Theater in Anaheim California, they had a rotating stage and got to see him perform from every angle. He and Grover Washington Jr. were the saxophonists I most admired growing up. His playing inspired me to practice more until I was 15 years old I got to play with Grammy Award Winning Latin Jazz Artist Poncho Sanchez.
My biggest influences as a sax player are David on alto and Kirk Whalum on tenor. Melodic, emotional and memorable. Was so sad when I heard the news. So glad I got to see him in person once in Kansas City around 2002.
The thing that stands out to me about David's playing is that you can just feel that he's getting exactly what he wants out of the horn. His artistic voice is so clear, intentional, and consistent. You just can't say that about many people.
I started gigging at the age of 19. A good friend/drummer turned me on to David Sanborn. I'm 55 now, and still love him. I saw him at Cynthia Woodlands with Al Jarreau and then later in Corpus Christi a few years before Covid. I took my daughter who was playing sax in high school band. After the show, he met with fans and we got to meet him. He spoke with us for about two minutes. I shared with him how much I loved his music. He was humble, joked around and was the nicest guy to both of us. I still get emotional over some of his music (Smile, Run For Cover). You can tell he's been on a musical journey when you listen to his newer albums compared to his first works. I'm glad he's not suffering but will miss hearing new music from Sanborn. Awesome tribute Mr. J. Metcalf! Thank you.
Even though he was diagnosed with lung disorder. David defeated this problem n came up by becoming a legend saxophonist. A great example to all human. Rest in peace sir David sanborn
I had the honor of hearing Dave Sanbirn way back in 1975 at The Bitter End in NYC. He was playing with The Brecker Brothers Band. At that time ‘Some Skunk Funk’ was the big song that everyone wanted to hear from the band. Well, Mike Brecker was playing Phenomenal Solos on this song, and he and Dave started trading solos, and David Sanborn was Absolutely Fantastic! So much so, that it became very competitive between these two friends, but Dave was holding his own and the audience was Loving It!! David Sanborn was one of the architects of what we now call ‘Smooth Jazz’ but believe me; he was the Real Deal on his sax, and ushered in a new style of sound and soloing on alto saxophone, by which legions of altoists have imitated and profitted from, for the past 50 years! God Bless you Mr. Sanborn, and ‘Thank You’ for your music!🎷,
I love both of those players; saw both live separately; got to meet Brecker, but sadly not Sanborn. I bet that experience was phenomenal! Have to admit I wish I had been there too! I hope they get to jam together again on the other side!
Dave and I have grown old together! I bought is first album back in 1975 when I was in college! Dave's improvisations were always spectacular and creative. I am blessed to have lots of Dave's vinyl in my collection. Dave I am sure going to miss you. Rest In Peace my friend. 🎷
RIP David Sanborn I love Ur music, I grew up listening to Ur music, Ur a big part of the soundtrack of my life. God Bless U as U move on to the next stage of being. Heaven's band just scored a major talent!
Listening to “The dream’” still brings chills on my back and great memories …dancing to it with an ex-girlfriend in a club in Miami…what an amazing song
Absolutely my biggest influence. He changed us all... and made saxophone way cooler in the world. A light bulb went off in my head the first time I saw him live. He was like a lead singer of a pop/rock band but with a saxophone. I thought... that makes all the sense in the world to me, and so here I am. What an indescribable loss. I have no words.
Wow, reading these comments is super heart warming. I cried when I heard of David’s passing yesterday. His influence on me is immeasurable. I’m 46, and I now realize reading these comments I fall into a special club of people who as young impressionable musicians were not only influenced to pick up the sax by David Sanborn, but whose dad turned them on to his music at an early age. My dad was a semiprofessional musician in his earlier years and would play Sanborn albums for me at every chance he’d get. We spent hours on car rides listening to David, whistling and singing along to his iconic solos, oh those smooth pentatonic riffs and altissimo notes that just hit right. Man those were great memories. My dad even took me to Rayburns in Boston where David took his horns to get worked on, and I got my very first Dukoff metal mthpc so I could attempt to get that elusive Sanborn sound. I’m so grateful for those memories and the few times my dad and I got to see David perform live. My dad now has lymphoma and it’s a constant battle for him, so hearing David lost his battle with cancer hit close to home. It’s amazing how music can bring so many people together. My dad and I shared some of these very same memories yesterday as we reminisced and chatted about the legacy David leaves behind. My dad even reminded me how David got that iconic embouchure from when he was young and suffered from polio and started playing sax to develop his lungs. This one hurt, but I know his music and these memories will live on forever. Thank you David Sanborn! 🙏
Excellent tribute! In my opinion, I’ve never seen a musician with his caliber of talent seem so down to earth and humble, it all came out through the bell, earthy and passionate beyond measure. Side note: his song the Dream was played at our wedding (on cassette)during the ceremony, unforgettable day, we played it so loud no one could hear our vows . Sure going to miss him! Rest in peace David!
Crazy how I think if you were born in the early to mid 80s and played in band in middle and high school later on David Sanborn was the sound you were chasing on Alto.
rip david sanborn he played sax on my favorite paul simon song still crazy after all those years i gotta learn how to play that solo just like him rip david you will be sorely missed in the saxophone community
If you have not heard him on Michael Kamen's Concerto For Saxophone do yourself a favor and listen to it. That is how legends do it! R.I.P David Sanborn 🎷🙏🏼🕊️♥️
Incredible tribute, Jay! Many saxophonists, including myself, were influenced by David's sound and playing. RIP, David Sanborn, your music will live on!
DAMN DAVID, I HAD NO IDEA, MY EARS HAVE BEEN FINE TUNED 2 THIS GUY 4 SOME TIME NOW, HIM, RONNIE LAWS, & SOME OF MY OTHER FAVORITE'S FROM WAY BACK WHEN. WHEN IT COMES 2 MUSIC, (GOD) HAS HAD ME ALL OVER THE PLACE 4 MANY MOON'S, & IT ALL STARTED WIT MY DAD, ALL HE WOULD GIVE HIS EARS 2 WAS JAZZ WAY 2 GO. ( 3 )
It's so sad when these Legends Pass! We can always hear them from the brilliant music they've performed from previous songs, but to know that we won't be seeing them any longer as Amazing music just seems to be fading? Hoping the newer generation and genres realize and take flight!
David Sanborn, influenced a lot of sax players including myself ..I met David Sanborn, about 2018 after his concert in Charlotte, as I was introduced as a member of the R &B Pop group Chairmen Of The Board, he immediately broke out singing our hit record “ Give Me Just a Little More Time” it floored me..I will cherish that forever. R.I P. David Sanborn
This is a fantastic tribute to David Sanborn which manages to capture most of my own personal favourite Sanborn solos. After seeing him live over 30 years ago, he inspired me to take up the Alto Sax. The extended solos on his own live concerts were particularly exciting, combining great rhythm & timing with a beautiful tone.
David did a concert in my town and I went to see him perform. I was pretty close to the stage, and that man did things and made sounds on that horn that I thought were impossible. Because of him, I was inspired more than ever to play saxophone, which I am learning right now. R.I.P. David Sanborn. One of the GOAT.
When I heard that amazing sax solo on Kenny Loggins' "Love Will Follow," that was the day I became a San Fan. He and Grover must be jammin' it up by now. Thanks for all the great music and memories!
Love David Sanborn! Bought almost every album he put out. Now, having left SoCal for retirement elsewhere, my dear daughter shares in that love and has all of my Sanborn albums. RIP Dave, you left your mark in jazz and in our hearts!
Legendary player and definitely a great loss. . Loved his Upfront album and his covering the King Curtis classic Soul Serenade. Grant rest O Lord to the soul of David in a place of brightness and verdure where sickness, sorrow, and sighing have fled away. May his memory be eternal!
Thanks for posting Jay. As said by many other people already, he was an inspiration for me as kid getting started on sax back in elementary school in the '80's. A musical superhero.
RIP David Sanborn.. This is the very man that got me interested in Jazz.. while in college I found a broken cassette tape in the grass while heading to my dorm. It had the name David Sanborn on it, I thought that was the owner.. LOL.. took it to my room and spliced it together...played and fell in love with it...I'm a real Smooth Jazz lover now, and it's all because of this Man. I had never seen him in person, but was really looking forward to it this year on the Smooth Jazz Cruise...Rest In Peace Master Saxophonist David Sanborn!!!
I heard David play on a Cleveland based band, Micheal Stanley Band. The song was mostly him just jamming. 'Choice and Sanborn' I Think. It was the lasts song on the album called Lady's Choice. I was hooked! I loved it so much I made my son learn to play sax in high school marching band. It's on u-tube and I urge anyone who was a Sanborn fan, play it!
I grew up listing to David's sax playing throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s. He was everywhere and bay far, the most talented sax player with improvisations that would just blow you away. When he started to play, you know the party was cooking. RIP David Sanborn. You made the world a much better place and set the standard for sax players to aim for.
I first heard DS on young Americans and started playing Alto after hearing Voyeur. he was a huge influence on my playing . I was pleased to see him in his pomp around 1986 in London, Al jarreau made a guest appearance. Sanborn was on fire that night . and at the Barrbican with Bob James ...I got to met him and say thank-you for the inspiration i got from his music to go and play Alto sax ..he said he's always very touched to hear someone has been motivated to pick up the sax after listening to his music ...fantastic human being. he said find you own voice on the instrument. amen to that....sadley I have the same Prostate cancer problem..thank god I can play and perform live 🙏 it gives me the mental strength to carry on . RIP Dave Sanborn. 😢
Started playing the sax again after 40 years. I told my music teacher, a young guy in his 20's about David Sanborn, he didn't have a clue who Sanborn was. Now I have to break the bad news about his passing. Talk about a heartbreak.
Sanborn opened my eyes to what saxophone could be while I was a high school student in the 90s. His playing was so emotive and instantly recognizable, which are qualities that are lacking in most saxophonists. He will be missed.
I'm so sadden by this news, I grew up as a young sax player In the 80s always trying play like the sax screamer David Sanborn he will truly be missed... make that sax scream loud and clear in heaven Dave cause ill be listening Rest well my friend.
After seeing and listen his music here in Brazil (some LPs and live shows), hours and hours listening to David Sanborn tracks in my car, on the street with my phones, the feeling is very close to seeing a good friend go... This human being made me feel great many times with his music, style, and unmistakable timbre of his saxophone... Me and my friends used to sing his phrases and get emotional sometimes... I wanna thank all those that supported him to become the musician he is, and was...
I lost my Dad to cancer exactly month before David’s passing and oddly they were the same age. My Dad was a fantastic sax player and we were and are both fans of your channel, Jay. Hope they get the chance to jam together now! Thanks for posting.
I didn't know he had passed. 🙁 RIP

Especially on the Pearls album.
SANBORN
I would often stay up late to hear Tom Snyder's opening theme music played by Mr. Sanborn...we just lost a legend.
RIH Mr Sanborn, you were one of the best to ever do it.
About the time you think the world can't get any sadder, we lose another legend.
I believe God wanted to get him out of here before things got any worse. Hate to see him go, but he's in a much better place now.

Great montage of video clips showing one of the greatest to ever pick up a saxophone. A life truly well lived. Rest in Peace David.

One of the best saxophone players ever, he will be so sadly missed. Condolences to his family and friends.
He revolutionized the sound of the alto sax! He and Mike Brecker can pick up where they left off...
Michael Brecker was his biggest fan. Says it all ...
It was a doctor who advised him to play the saxophone when he was a child to strengthen his breathing capacity following a serious illness (poliomyelitis). 😢 🎷🥰
Thanks I didn’t know about that.
Great advice! Look at what a great artist he became!
He actually started with trumpet. The doctor advised his family to let him play a wind instrument to increase his lung capacity.
Absolutely loved everything he did...what an Icon rest easy sweet angel❤❤❤

Wow great story.
So sorry to hear of Sanborn's passing. He was truly awesome.
Was never a real fan of the sax, but this guy has a way of giving ya chills with the way he makes it sound, can always tell it’s him
RIP
My biggest influences as a sax player are David on alto and Kirk Whalum on tenor. Melodic, emotional and memorable. Was so sad when I heard the news. So glad I got to see him in person once in Kansas City around 2002.
Hello friend, how are you doing today
What? No Michael Brecker?😮😮
RIP David Sanborn. One of my favorite saxophonists!
I don't play but came across this tribute. I grew up with his music and I feel like an old friend has passed away. RIP
Me too. Followed him since "Tuesday Heartbreak". He had me right there.
Thank you for this Tribute. David Sanborn will be missed and yet Live on through his music...
The thing that stands out to me about David's playing is that you can just feel that he's getting exactly what he wants out of the horn. His artistic voice is so clear, intentional, and consistent. You just can't say that about many people.
I started gigging at the age of 19. A good friend/drummer turned me on to David Sanborn. I'm 55 now, and still love him.

I was at the show in corpus christi and then played the jazz festival across the street the next day!
Thank you for making this particular tribute. No words needed indeed.
Hello friend, how are you doing today
A life well lived. His influence is profound. Rest In Peace Dear Sir.

Hello Jeff, how are you doing today
@Marybrunette I'm fine, thanks 😮😊
淋しい限りです。素晴らしい演奏をありがとう。
安らかにお眠りください。
I remember first listening to David Sanborn during high school. Influenced my playing style. RIP a legend.
Hello friend, how are you doing today
Tears......... thanks for the memories David. Glad I got to see you 3 times.....wish it had been 300........ RIP
Listening to “The dream’” still brings chills on my back and great memories …dancing to it with an ex-girlfriend in a club in Miami…what an amazing song
One of the greats, whose music, with its instantly recognisable sound, has given me pleasure over many decades.

How cool is that 😊
David Sanborn was my first musical influence and made me want the start playing alto sax. A sax legend. R.I.P David. We won't forget you....😪
Crazy how I think if you were born in the early to mid 80s and played in band in middle and high school later on David Sanborn was the sound you were chasing on Alto.
Same here 😢
rip david sanborn he played sax on my favorite paul simon song still crazy after all those years i gotta learn how to play that solo just like him rip david you will be sorely missed in the saxophone community
Man, another legend gone. RIP to one of the very best, Mr. Sanborn.
There are no words to describe his influence on the saxophone and music in general!
An musical icon of our times. He's left an impression in our memories that can never be erased.
If you have not heard him on Michael Kamen's Concerto For Saxophone do yourself a favor and listen to it. That is how legends do it! R.I.P David Sanborn 🎷🙏🏼🕊️♥️
Forever my sax hero , RIP…😢
Incredible tribute, Jay! Many saxophonists, including myself, were influenced by David's sound and playing. RIP, David Sanborn, your music will live on!
DAMN DAVID, I HAD NO IDEA, MY EARS HAVE BEEN FINE TUNED 2 THIS GUY 4 SOME TIME NOW, HIM, RONNIE LAWS, & SOME OF MY OTHER FAVORITE'S FROM WAY BACK WHEN. WHEN IT COMES 2 MUSIC, (GOD) HAS HAD ME ALL OVER THE PLACE 4 MANY MOON'S, & IT ALL STARTED WIT MY DAD, ALL HE WOULD GIVE HIS EARS 2 WAS JAZZ WAY 2 GO. ( 3 )
RIP. Loved him since started listening to him in the 80's.
RIP. We've lost an all-time great.
Monster player .. especially one concert with Hiram Bullock.. AMAZING..RIP Dave Sanborn !!!
Very sad. Rest in Peace David. The world is a sadder place.
May God watch over Alice and Jonathan in this sad time.
Hey Dave, give our best to Joey D.
Great video thanks!!!! Glad he has so much music we can still listen to!!!! RIP David!
Got to see him in concert way back in Green Bay at the Meyer theater, I'm so glad I got to see him live!
Wonderful sampling of David’s magic, Jay! The term 'Beast Mode' is overused today, but David achieved it in every performance.
Jay - what a fantastic montage! Loved seeing the clips and just hearing this awesome talent. Will be sadly missed, but will live on forever.
It's so sad when these Legends Pass!
We can always hear them from the brilliant music they've performed from previous songs, but to know that we won't be seeing them any longer as Amazing music just seems to be fading?
Hoping the newer generation and genres realize and take flight!
David Sanborn and Bob James with 'Maputo' playing on KTWV The Wave when the station first came on the air. I loved his sound.
For me, the greatest. Incredibly grateful for his music. Thank you David.
David Sanborn, influenced a lot of sax players including myself ..I met David Sanborn, about 2018 after his concert in Charlotte, as I was introduced as a member of the R &B Pop group Chairmen Of The Board, he immediately broke out singing our hit record “ Give Me Just a Little More Time” it floored me..I will cherish that forever. R.I P. David Sanborn
Beautiful story.
You and your music Wil be missed R.I.P. Mr. Sandborn 😢.
His "voice" is THE SOUND of rock / jazz / funk / pop alto saxophone. Every sax player in those genres is still influenced by his sound and style.
Hello Mark, how are you doing today
This is a fantastic tribute to David Sanborn which manages to capture most of my own personal favourite Sanborn solos. After seeing him live over 30 years ago, he inspired me to take up the Alto Sax. The extended solos on his own live concerts were particularly exciting, combining great rhythm & timing with a beautiful tone.
What a signature" soulful sound'" DAVID Sanborn had. I grew up listening to him he is an All Time Great Saxophone Legend. Very Sorry for his loss.
Saxy soulful Sanborn gave the greatest performance of all time😢 wish I could have seen him one more time
Play on David in peace
I absolutely loved this guy. You are sorely missed, Mr. Sanborn.
David did a concert in my town and I went to see him perform. I was pretty close to the stage, and that man did things and made sounds on that horn that I thought were impossible. Because of him, I was inspired more than ever to play saxophone, which I am learning right now. R.I.P. David Sanborn. One of the GOAT.
I had the great pleasure of seeing David Sanborn play in Cape Town several years ago. Such beauty and power and finesse
Damn it. Just finding this out. Rest in peace David. You're already deeply missed.
When I heard that amazing sax solo on Kenny Loggins' "Love Will Follow," that was the day I became a San Fan. He and Grover must be jammin' it up by now. Thanks for all the great music and memories!
One of the ALL TIME GREATS!!!❤❤
Love to watch Lethal Weapon and hear Clapton on guitar and Sanborns legendary sound❤
Love David Sanborn! Bought almost every album he put out. Now, having left SoCal for retirement elsewhere, my dear daughter shares in that love and has all of my Sanborn albums. RIP Dave, you left your mark in jazz and in our hearts!
David, you will always be alive in our musical memories...
Legendary player and definitely a great loss. .
Loved his Upfront album and his covering the King Curtis classic Soul Serenade. Grant rest O Lord to the soul of David in a place of brightness and verdure where sickness, sorrow, and sighing have fled away. May his memory be eternal!
Thanks for posting Jay. As said by many other people already, he was an inspiration for me as kid getting started on sax back in elementary school in the '80's. A musical superhero.
Will be sorely missed. Can't say how many hours we listened to him on Jazz band trips back in the 80's. Great tribute Jay.
Hey, when you hear David, he always makes things better _ and he gave us that to keep... RIP big David, Got you on speed dial buddy. Thank you
I loved David Sanborn since I first heard his records. I just learned that he passed. I was shocked and so saddened 😢. His soulful music lives on!!!
R .I P. Mr David Sanborn.......We ❤ed. All Your Music...
RIP David Sanborn.. This is the very man that got me interested in Jazz.. while in college I found a broken cassette tape in the grass while heading to my dorm. It had the name David Sanborn on it, I thought that was the owner.. LOL.. took it to my room and spliced it together...played and fell in love with it...I'm a real Smooth Jazz lover now, and it's all because of this Man. I had never seen him in person, but was really looking forward to it this year on the Smooth Jazz Cruise...Rest In Peace Master Saxophonist David Sanborn!!!
Thanks for sharing that sweet story. 👍🏽
I heard David play on a Cleveland based band, Micheal Stanley Band. The song was mostly him just jamming. 'Choice and Sanborn' I Think. It was the lasts song on the album called Lady's Choice. I was hooked! I loved it so much I made my son learn to play sax in high school marching band. It's on u-tube and I urge anyone who was a Sanborn fan, play it!
There was nothing smooth about Sanborn. He was one tough player 😂
I grew up listing to David's sax playing throughout the 70s, 80s and 90s. He was everywhere and bay far, the most talented sax player with improvisations that would just blow you away. When he started to play, you know the party was cooking. RIP David Sanborn. You made the world a much better place and set the standard for sax players to aim for.
I first heard DS on young Americans and started playing Alto after hearing Voyeur. he was a huge influence on my playing . I was pleased to see him in his pomp around 1986 in London, Al jarreau made a guest appearance. Sanborn was on fire that night . and at the Barrbican with Bob James ...I got to met him and say thank-you for the inspiration i got from his music to go and play Alto sax ..he said he's always very touched to hear someone has been motivated to pick up the sax after listening to his music ...fantastic human being. he said find you own voice on the instrument. amen to that....sadley I have the same Prostate cancer problem..thank god I can play and perform live 🙏 it gives me the mental strength to carry on . RIP Dave Sanborn. 😢
Thank you for this beautiful tribute. 😢
Started playing the sax again after 40 years. I told my music teacher, a young guy in his 20's about David Sanborn, he didn't have a clue who Sanborn was. Now I have to break the bad news about his passing. Talk about a heartbreak.
Sanborn opened my eyes to what saxophone could be while I was a high school student in the 90s. His playing was so emotive and instantly recognizable, which are qualities that are lacking in most saxophonists. He will be missed.
Dave Sanborns Solo at People,People by Tommy Bolin got me started on Sax. David thanks for that and Rest In Peace.
RIP David Sanborn 1945-2024😔🙏💔🌹⭐!!!
One of the greatest saxophonist that ever graced this earth. RIP genious🙏🏾
R.I.P. thanks for the music
I'm so sadden by this news, I grew up as a young sax player In the 80s always trying play like the sax screamer David Sanborn he will truly be missed... make that sax scream loud and clear in heaven Dave cause ill be listening Rest well my friend.
An iconic Legend who will be Missed.
"The dream" has brought me to the saxophon 🎷.R.I.P. in heaven Mr.Sandborn🙏
A true legend. Inspired so many. His music will continue to become "standards" for years to come.❤❤
After seeing and listen his music here in Brazil (some LPs and live shows), hours and hours listening to David Sanborn tracks in my car, on the street with my phones, the feeling is very close to seeing a good friend go...
This human being made me feel great many times with his music, style, and unmistakable timbre of his saxophone...
Me and my friends used to sing his phrases and get emotional sometimes...
I wanna thank all those that supported him to become the musician he is, and was...
What a beautiful tribute!
He was my first concert in NYC, outside on the Hudson River and my biggest, earliest influence.... will be sorely missed and always revered!
Thanks for this.... Play in peace Dave, now with a bigger audience
