Born: July 30, 1945 City and Country of Origin: Tampa, Florida Music Training: Awards: Top Recordings: David Sanborn Biography: David Sanborn is an American alto saxophonist most commonly associated with commercial, radio-friendly smooth jazz and pop-fusion. He was born in Florida but raised in Kirkwood, Missouri. As a child he suffered from polio and took up the sax to help strengthen his weakened chest muscles. At 14 he performed with blues musicians Albert King and Little Milton. He continued playing the blues when he joined Paul Butterfield's band in 1967. He has been a highly respected sessions player since the 60s playing with artists like: Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, Jaco Pastorius, the Brecker Brothers, Bob James, James Taylor, Al Jarreau, George Benson, Joe Beck, Donny Hathaway, Elton John, Gil Evans, Carly Simon, Billy Joel, Roger Waters, and Steely Dan. He is perhaps best known for his sax solo on the TV show LA Law. He has also done some film scoring for films such as Lethal Weapon and Scrooged. In 1991 Sanborn recorded Another Hand, which the All Music Guide to Jazz described as a "return by Sanborn to his real, true love: unadorned (or only partly adorned) jazz" that "balanced the scales" against his smooth jazz material. |
