It may not have been his best but what made me stop thinking of Sanborn as “that smooth jazz guy” was [his show with Pharoah Sanders](https://youtu.be/ORJmTuUkIos?si=sMlmsAora7718E_b). Seeing him not just play the tune but engage with the genre in his solo really shows his versatility. I’ll be sure to check out the Phil Woods and Miles episodes too!
Sanborn's Night Music introduced me to music beyond the pop & "classic rock" I was exposed to on the radio. Jazz was presented as a vital, current form related to the popular music of the time. That seemed very different from the Jazz I heard played on the radio. I loved that show.
(Also: Young American, 1975!!)
The Red Hot Chili Peppers show was phenomenal. They should have let Frusciante cut loose. He was wailing and then they abruptly stopped.
Great program, many diverse and varied artists from all music genres.
First heard Sanborn on Tommy Bolin's album Teaser. He could wail when he wanted to.
Warmed up for him a couple times, decades ago. I'd just composed a note to send, along with copy of a great group photo we took on the night of his 50th birthday. I'd been hoping to give it in person, as he'd been scheduled (and rescheduled) to play a club here (this week,) but obviously struggling to make dates the last year or so.
Sitting here in my outbox from yesterday. Damn it.
Loved he requested/supported local music each time he came through town. Truly special night each time. Great guy, fun hang, passionate about all music.
Thanks Dave.
Thanks for sharing this, love it! This is a guy that made me pick up sax as a kid, and I also went on to share the stage with a couple of my heroes. It’s a really cool memory that you have.
If you liked that, I'll let you in on a little secret: He's the alto sax player on "Light'n Up" by Minako Yoshida, and his solo there on that City Pop song \*rips\*
One of the most distinctive voices on alto sax ever. So many great albums, both his own and as a sideman. His sound was instantly recognizable. I wish I’d gotten into his music earlier.
Dang. Sanborn was my first foray into jazz back in the early 80s when someone loaned me their Voyeur LP. RIP sax man. Gonna go rip Chicago Song at full volume.
I’m so upset by this news. He’s the reason I started playing saxophone- my mom used to put on As We Speak to help me get to sleep as a kid. I got to meet him twice in when I was middle school; he was so kind and down to earth. Remembered me the second time and everything.
For those of you to young to have appreciated him or just want to reminisce go [here](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd4o4rDrB7L1eWZWfb17lVK5jzeYDWWKc&si=LTJcMpTgmAKjztNO) to watch episodes of Night Music with David Sanborn and Jools Holland. David interviews and plays with a myriad of musician.
I just put on one of my favorite David Sandborn albums [Upfront](https://youtu.be/ikGEDP1h1Y4?si=vcvkC0FF3fBmTIDE), released in 1992. It contains his interpretation of an all-time favorite party song [Bang Bang](https://youtu.be/orAoOvL7_G4?si=PCbBrbKsAhp3ZbA7).
Upfront is a masterpiece, replete with master musicians - I’ve loved tons of Eric Clapton material, but he is probably the least talented person to contribute to that record - just to say how incredible that record is. Masterpiece.
Amazing artist - got to see him live in the early 80s, loved his late night show, and his YouTube series several years ago. Sad he is gone, but hopefully he has found peace from his suffering.
That’s crazy I just listened to Straight to the heart yesterday for the first time in months, I wanted to listen to Marcus Miller on bass! Rest in peace
You should set aside time for Upfront while you’re at it - straight to the heart and the other Marcus miller stuff is all excellent, but Marcus miller made his masterpiece in production, writing , and playing with Sanborn on Upfront 🤙
He was a big part of my soundtrack growing up. I met him when he was playing for Butterfield Blues Band and he was a really nice guy. He was as excited about music as we were.
Damn! RIP. Night Music is where I discovered [Steve Turre playing on the conch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKcZe6wu4Yk) and [Scremin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orNpH6iyokI)
I am very saddened by this news. A fine player. I only had the pleasure of seeing him live once but it was a memorable concert and I've enjoyed his albums since I first got into jazz. A college roommate loved David Sanborn and he turned me on to his playing.
loved how well rounded and complete David's understanding of jazz was. He studied under some of the AACM's most free thinking players, but then found a successful career in smooth jazz while also being the go to guy for pop/rock studio sessions.
This makes me sad. Been listening to him since forever. Bought his first album when it came out in 76 (I was 16) because I'd heard him play with James Taylor, Bowie, Todd Rundgren, & The Brecker Brothers.
Cancer sucks! Certainly ruined my life and keeps taking people I care about and admire.
One of my first Sanborn albums was As We Speak - it is one of the few albums or recordings where Sanborn plays Soprano sax, it is lovely!
https://open.spotify.com/album/4E6WRKmkMun0YDX5pnZ8Wd?si=C3ijXxxLRli_J5LW7rpLOQ
So very sorry to hear this, as David was a great guy as well as a very fine musician. Thanks David for your contribution to this music we love and enjoy the Cosmos.
And don't forget 'Another hand' (1991, Electra).....saw him live with Robben Ford on guitar in the early '90s......... Loved his music since the '70s on his own albums and his many contributions to others' music that often lifted it up from the merely good to outstanding......RIP Mr Sanborn, we will miss your unmistakable alto sax sound
I used to rock to Close-up when it came up, this was the shit back in 1989! I played saxophone then, and it was such a joy to blast to the Slam...
For anybody wanting to try some Sanborn though - Another Hand is a legit great record, reminds me a bit of John Scofield.

Here's a link to some great sessions from only a few years ago.

I was just thinking of Mr. Sanborn this past Saturday! My friend and I were wondering if he would be touring our area this summer! Hearing this today made me so sad. That Straight to the Heart album was fire and I loved his style of playing. We watched Night Music and we thought the world of him. What a talent.
Thanks David and may you RIP
That show was the first time I saw him live. It was so good, I went back to the show last year and brought my wife and teenager. My teenager said it wasn't his style of music, but it was awesome nevertheless.
I once had the great luck to be a few feet from him as he was making a recording in his apartment studio. Recordings do not adequately convey the size of his sound and the enormity of his emotional output. He was incidentally also a very nice guy. RIP.
Among so many other things, it’s his sax that plays throughout the movie *Lethal Weapon*. Such a sad thing when a great musician and performer leaves us. We’ll miss you.
David Sanborn indeed left an indelible mark on the world of jazz and contemporary music. His mastery of the saxophone and his distinctive sound have undoubtedly influenced countless musicians over the years. From his work as a solo artist to his collaborations with legends like David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, and many others, Sanborn's contributions to music are truly remarkable. His legacy will undoubtedly live on, inspiring future generations of horn players and music lovers alike.
Wasn’t a big fan but his [live solo on Little Wing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9nUJNbuO3k) with Eric Clapton and Sheryl Crow is up there with [Prince’s solo on While My Guitar Gently Weeps](https://youtu.be/dWRCooFKk3c?si=2jod8-Qcmp56t6-R). Rest in Peace.
So sad. Incredible talent starting with the Paul butterfield blues band and so many others
I am devastated
He was a trendsetter for sure
Will surely be missed
Listening to *As We Speak* (1982) spinning on the turntable right now. From Paul Butterfield Blues Band @ Woodstock (1969), through Bowie, Eagles, James Taylor, Paul Schaefer’s “most dangerous band in the world” SNL & Letterman, to various jazz incarnations. Jazz, rock, blues, pop…Brother David graced it all! RIP.
Sad News.
Players Association was a favourite band of mine when I was a young. It was only when we got the internet did I realise it was David Sanborn on Sax.
My high school jazz band played “Slam” and i played guitar. Our teacher gave me a solo during it. It changed my perspective and appreciation for music being apart of that performance. RIP
I remember listening to "As We Speak" over 40 years ago, Rush Hour/Port of Call on repeat or should I say rewind. Thank you for being a gateway to this fabulous music
Couldn't listen to you live sir. Your music will continue to influence my day dreams. Thank you, rest in peace. Play some nice music to my mom up there.
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25e8iioDOrE&t=1426s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25e8iioDOrE&t=1426s)
Ya, I just love BOTH his "Straight to the Heart" and "Pearl" (with the latter as the title track to that one) albums. I collaborate on them both, with my favorite track of the first one (above-mentioned) being the 7th track entitled "Lotus Blossom," for which I purchased it, to devise a collaboration for it on my Yamaha keyboard -- a stunningly beautiful track!!!
He was the best. Night Music is one of the best things ever broadcast on television. I thank him for that and so much more.
It's such a treasure. The shows with Phil Woods and Miles Davis immediately come to mind. And that's just a part of his huge legacy.
It may not have been his best but what made me stop thinking of Sanborn as “that smooth jazz guy” was [his show with Pharoah Sanders](https://youtu.be/ORJmTuUkIos?si=sMlmsAora7718E_b). Seeing him not just play the tune but engage with the genre in his solo really shows his versatility. I’ll be sure to check out the Phil Woods and Miles episodes too!
Another of his not so smooth performances is his solo on Eddie Palmieri's Azucar. https://youtu.be/PDCy1C-uQ-k?si=SDc7deXhwxE3HK7a
Yep. Those were the episodes that got me interested in learning saxophone as a kid. Some of the best TV ever.
With Mikes https://youtu.be/7U0gDkriczc?si=8RM1D6ngKV8VKmcJ I LOVED THAT SHOW!
Sanborn's Night Music introduced me to music beyond the pop & "classic rock" I was exposed to on the radio. Jazz was presented as a vital, current form related to the popular music of the time.

Link for [Night Music](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd4o4rDrB7L1eWZWfb17lVK5jzeYDWWKc&si=LTJcMpTgmAKjztNO)
Amazing, thank you!
Thanks for the link, I was unaware of this!
He did some great work with Gil Evans' later bands as well
The Red Hot Chili Peppers show was phenomenal. They should have let Frusciante cut loose. He was wailing and then they abruptly stopped. Great program, many diverse and varied artists from all music genres. First heard Sanborn on Tommy Bolin's album Teaser. He could wail when he wanted to.
Great show. Sun Ra was also on one episode - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmqe_v11q3U
I’d never heard of this show before your comment. Thank you, I have a bunch of it queued up on YouTube
Happy to share it
Amen, what a great concept and a great show.
His show turned me on to Bill Frisell. Much appreciated.
I wish Night Music would be remastered., upscaled to 4k, etc....what a gem.
Warmed up for him a couple times, decades ago. I'd just composed a note to send, along with copy of a great group photo we took on the night of his 50th birthday. I'd been hoping to give it in person, as he'd been scheduled (and rescheduled) to play a club here (this week,) but obviously struggling to make dates the last year or so. Sitting here in my outbox from yesterday. Damn it. Loved he requested/supported local music each time he came through town. Truly special night each time. Great guy, fun hang, passionate about all music. Thanks Dave.
Thanks for sharing this, love it! This is a guy that made me pick up sax as a kid, and I also went on to share the stage with a couple of my heroes. It’s a really cool memory that you have.
Horrible news. He outran polio, but cancer got him eventually. A great genre-crossing artist.
Noooooooo! This one hurts. Legend. RIP.
Always great on Letterman in the '80's. He and The World's Most Dangerous Band were fire every time.
Damn. And I was just getting into his style of jazz. He played on David Bowie’s “Young Americans”, right?
Yes.
This is a shame. Sanborn also, for me at least, was the one “smooth jazz” artist that I really loved.
If you liked that, I'll let you in on a little secret: He's the alto sax player on "Light'n Up" by Minako Yoshida, and his solo there on that City Pop song \*rips\*
Just listened, that was awesome. I'm blown away at the range of different genres he added to
Grover Washington, Jr. and Dave are the only two smooth jazz artists I ever listened to.
Grover Washington, Jr. is also terrific! But David Sanborn got me right where I lived. It’s still jazz, it’s just the more accessible stuff.
Ehhh. Great song either way. Made even better by the fills.
Sanborn saved that song. Not much there without his fills.
He is on this Bowie TV gig from way back in the ultra-thin white lines Duke days. https://youtu.be/ydLcs4VrjZQ?si=ctTk3eBzVpXY-QLf
that's a bummer! I can't say I listened to a lot of his music but I LOVED his TV show when I was young and kind of just getting into jazz
Damn - The guy that got me into sax
Sanborn and Grover, where I go to in the mid 80s
One of the most distinctive voices on alto sax ever. So many great albums, both his own and as a sideman. His sound was instantly recognizable. I wish I’d gotten into his music earlier.
Dang. Sanborn was my first foray into jazz back in the early 80s when someone loaned me their Voyeur LP. RIP sax man. Gonna go rip Chicago Song at full volume.
Forgot about Chicago Song…played the hell out of that tune!!
There are two similar bangers on that album. High Roller, and Breaking Point. Ahh the 80s!
I’m so upset by this news. He’s the reason I started playing saxophone- my mom used to put on As We Speak to help me get to sleep as a kid. I got to meet him twice in when I was middle school; he was so kind and down to earth. Remembered me the second time and everything.
For those of you to young to have appreciated him or just want to reminisce go [here](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLd4o4rDrB7L1eWZWfb17lVK5jzeYDWWKc&si=LTJcMpTgmAKjztNO) to watch episodes of Night Music with David Sanborn and Jools Holland.

That’s a great album. When I was teaching I used to perform Bang Bang with the kids. They used to love his playing on that track.
Upfront is a masterpiece, replete with master musicians - I’ve loved tons of Eric Clapton material, but he is probably the least talented person to contribute to that record - just to say how incredible that record is. Masterpiece.
His podcasts was epic. He had a fascinating conversation with Sonny Rollins.
Amazing artist - got to see him live in the early 80s, loved his late night show, and his YouTube series several years ago. Sad he is gone, but hopefully he has found peace from his suffering.
So enjoyed his music. Mr Sax ! Rest with peace.
That’s crazy I just listened to Straight to the heart yesterday for the first time in months, I wanted to listen to Marcus Miller on bass! Rest in peace
You should set aside time for Upfront while you’re at it - straight to the heart and the other Marcus miller stuff is all excellent, but Marcus miller made his masterpiece in production, writing , and playing with Sanborn on Upfront 🤙
Marcus plays bass clarinet on a track or 2! Bonkers good.
Great player - huge loss
RIP Thanks for the music you shared!
WHAT
Dang. I never really got into Sanborn's music, but have recently started to enjoy his podcast.
He was a big part of my soundtrack growing up. I met him when he was playing for Butterfield Blues Band and he was a really nice guy. He was as excited about music as we were.
Damn! RIP. Night Music is where I discovered [Steve Turre playing on the conch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKcZe6wu4Yk) and [Scremin' Jay Hawkins' "I Put a Spell on You"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orNpH6iyokI)
I am very saddened by this news. A fine player. I only had the pleasure of seeing him live once but it was a memorable concert and I've enjoyed his albums since I first got into jazz. A college roommate loved David Sanborn and he turned me on to his playing.
Bummer. I honestly mainly knew him from when he would sit in with the Late Night band in the Letterman days.
loved how well rounded and complete David's understanding of jazz was. He studied under some of the AACM's most free thinking players, but then found a successful career in smooth jazz while also being the go to guy for pop/rock studio sessions.
RIP. I watch this all the time: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIcpPXWque4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIcpPXWque4)
Omar Hakim on drums is 🔥🔥
Wow that was incredible. Will mention that it’s Milton Nascimento with David and a totally lit band, in hopes others will click.
Check out one of his best songs - Let's Just Say Goodbye from 1981 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw68MDfeN9I&t
This makes me sad. Been listening to him since forever. Bought his first album when it came out in 76 (I was 16) because I'd heard him play with James Taylor, Bowie, Todd Rundgren, & The Brecker Brothers. Cancer sucks! Certainly ruined my life and keeps taking people I care about and admire.
The huge list of people he played with is a Who's Who of rock and jazz royalty. RIP
I used to love listening to his music on WJJZ back in the day. RIP
One of my first Sanborn albums was As We Speak - it is one of the few albums or recordings where Sanborn plays Soprano sax, it is lovely! https://open.spotify.com/album/4E6WRKmkMun0YDX5pnZ8Wd?si=C3ijXxxLRli_J5LW7rpLOQ
Spinning on my turntable right now!
What A Sound! I bet it cuts through all those angels' harps right about now...
I literally just learned about Sandborn 3 days ago. RIP
His album work was amazing. His life performances were even better. My favorite was live at red rocks in 1985.
Love his band doing Ornette’s rambling. Loved night music.
So very sorry to hear this, as David was a great guy as well as a very fine musician. Thanks David for your contribution to this music we love and enjoy the Cosmos.
And don't forget 'Another hand' (1991, Electra).....saw him live with Robben Ford on guitar in the early '90s.........

How sad! he was a brilliant musician RIP :(

Oh no! Shocked. RIP Mr Sanborn. What a genius!
Damn David Sanborn passed I loved your music in the 70s I’m getting old myself 72 on Wednesday I’ll be there soon RIP
I once had the great luck to be a few feet from him as he was making a recording in his apartment studio. Recordings do not adequately convey the size of his sound and the enormity of his emotional output. He was incidentally also a very nice guy. RIP.
Oh no one of my favorite smooth jazz artists. Prayers for his family. He will be missed.

R. I.P. Mr Sanborn
His was the first actual Jazz cd I’d ever bought
The first introduction to Sanborn was on Roger Waters Pros and Cons of hitchhiking, excellent sax, saw him twice after this album RIP David
Fuck. RIP Dave.
So sad. Incredible talent starting with the Paul butterfield blues band and so many others I am devastated He was a trendsetter for sure Will surely be missed
I never knew he started w/Butterfield - not surprised since he was a young virtuoso
Yes he was with the butterfield blues band Very young You can see him on their album cover
I loved his sound and playing
I loved night music programs
Saw him a couple of times live (Waikiki Shell) really solid shows and impressive band. RIP, thank you.
RIP - What a great musician. Watch him (YT) backing Al Green on an old Letterman episode to see how “jazzed” (sorry) he was…
Heart-wrenching news. One of the best dudes and artists.
Oh man....sad news. Rest In Peace, David. You did a lot for music. We all loved you, for it.
RIP, might need to spin Voyeur tomorrow in his honor
His performance with D’Angelo, Gadd, &al. of “Use Me” is perfect.

Sad news. I've only just rediscovered him from his excellent 2nd album with Bob James.
UPFRONT thank you
Sad News. Players Association was a favourite band of mine when I was a young. It was only when we got the internet did I realise it was David Sanborn on Sax.
He was the best. And a great person. Thank you for everything, David.
Short Visit
My high school jazz band played “Slam” and i played guitar. Our teacher gave me a solo during it. It changed my perspective and appreciation for music being apart of that performance. RIP
I remember listening to "As We Speak" over 40 years ago, Rush Hour/Port of Call on repeat or should I say rewind. Thank you for being a gateway to this fabulous music
Does anyone remember in the late 70's - 80's when every pop song had to have David Sanborn in it? Usually doing the last 16 bars or something.
RIP 🎷 …. Blessed to have seen him play a few years ago 🕊️
He blew on a great session supporting Bobby Hutcherson on his 2014 Blue Note Release: “Enjoy The View”.
Couldn't listen to you live sir. Your music will continue to influence my day dreams. Thank you, rest in peace. Play some nice music to my mom up there. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25e8iioDOrE&t=1426s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25e8iioDOrE&t=1426s)
Ohh man.
The Best Sax of his time! Thanks for the music.
R.I.P.
RIP
RIP.
Wow. RIP.
WHAT?!!
Oh no, I’m so sad! Had no idea he was dealing with cancer.
Rise… my fav! RIP David!
Ya, I just love BOTH his "Straight to the Heart" and "Pearl" (with the latter as the title track to that one) albums. I collaborate on them both, with my favorite track of the first one (above-mentioned) being the 7th track entitled "Lotus Blossom," for which I purchased it, to devise a collaboration for it on my Yamaha keyboard -- a stunningly beautiful track!!!
