He was special. I love his sound and musical choices. RIP, Mr. Sanborn.

[@vustation]

A Genius, A Giant, and a Preeminent Pioneer in the jazz world _ One of my heroes, Thank you David Sanborn _ RIP

[@3rdandlong]

I was shocked to hear of Davids passing. His composition with Bob James, "Maputo" will always remain a cherished classic in my music collection. Damn.

[@jamesbrent2504]

It was a privilege to catch his show at Indianapolis' Music Mill in 2008 and meet him afterwards. He was an enormous talent and always fan friendly. His legacy will never be forgotten.

[@wilmothutson1140]

What can I say, he was my Idol when I was learning how to play the saxophone. RIP David Sanborn.🙏

[@peterdawson1586]

His passing is very sad, but I’m very glad that he gave us such a wonderful gift, his music. Safe journey 🙏

[@robertorivera3090]

Wao no lo puedo creer....La primera vez que escuché un disco de el quedé enamorado de su música.....Close up!!

[@Truelight0]

RIP Dave🎷 thank you for your music.

[@StantonZeff]

I was lucky enough to see him play live a few times. I still listen to many of his great albums in the late 70's/early 80's. Many classic solos (both pop and jazz). RIP.

[@jamesshorten9981]

Saw David with Joey Defransisco in Salisbury MA a few years ago. What a great show. Had tickets to see him at Jimmy's Jazz club in Portsmouth NH on May 25. RIP Mr Sanborn you were an inspiration to so many of us Blessings and prayers to Alice, Jonathan and the grandchildren and Dave' s sisters. He's jamming with Hank, Joey and Miles, and I'm sure Phil Woods and Bird greeted him.

[@mirazusta2002]

Beautiful tribute to a great musician that of yours. I was lucky enough myself to see David Sanborn at Getxo Jazz Festival, in Spain, back in 2010. On that occasion he also played alongside Joey DeFrancesco, a outstanding drummer, whose name I don't remember and a few other great musicians, unknown to me, who were also part of the ensemble. Great concert. I went to Portsmouth, NH, once, in the summer of 2012, such a beautiful spot, I had seafood for supper with friends at a local restaurant somewhere on the town's docks, a perfect town with a great vibe for live music, great atmosphere in the streets, probably the gorgeous July weather also contributed to the experience.. RIP Mr David Sanborn and Mr Joey De Francesco. Thank you for reaching.

[@VBForbes]

as did Paul Butterfield

[@hildat8]

I’m sure Joe Sample was there to greet him also. We’ve just about lost all of the giants. 😢

[@robertbyington7715]

David made the sax and jazz cool again for an entire new generation which is a pretty cool legacy. He was similar to Clarence Clemons you knew who it was from the first few notes.

[@hermancarterjr8334]

My Dad was a fan of you and use to listen to all of your albums and had some collections of CD's. Unfortunately he passed away before your departure on 08/21/2021. May you both rest in peace and paradise. I'm a forever David Sanborn fan now! I don't care about your color being white, you are a bad mama jamsa saxophone my player my brother!

[@dudleymczeal737]

One of the "Greatest" EVER! And one of my favorite "Jazz" Saxophonists. Rest in Heaven David. We'll see you there!

[@kharris2384]

IT'S David Sanborn... Your touch was light but haunting, too. Musical gymnastics that only David, or Marcus or Al Jarreau could do. Liquid sound, melting in my ear, speaking to my soul, calming many fears. This alto horn will 4ever live on, your ending just a new beginning you see. The crescendo moved me even as your triple tongue soothed me a musical maestro in the room. Yes, feeling your movement, its own type of prayer, David Sanborn the maestro, the master's on the air. Just like that... caught in a vibe, as you weaved musical stories, taking us on a musical ride. Your sound carries thru air waves.... Oh yea, the water waves too & I thank you, David Sanborn, for making your horn do just what it do! Oh, that lyrical expertise will continue to live thru each & every note David Sanborn breathed vision into. So rest beautiful traveler, as your spirit still flows thru... the middle C, the palm key too & each and every sharp & flat you introduced us to. David, you will never end because the music does transcend... permitting possibility always multiplied by three, from they to them to me ...deep into our perpetuity. You go, you stay, you never left...man it's David Sanborn, So much damn Respect! 💜 Kitty/ Philadelphia

[@MikeyMike5063]

Please rest in peace. I was blessed with your music for 50 plus years. Thank you.

[@dannysolichin3139]

I am sad, Dave was my sax hero, his music albums kept me going throughout my college years. RIP Dave, you will be surely missed.

[@deniseswiney2488]

[@carlosriverajr5680]

[@charlescurry4981]

David sanborn is one of the greatest saxophonists of our time . I’m truly going to miss his incredible talent . I was blown away by his talent on the Johnny Carson show which is the first I heard him . He will be missed . RIP David job well done

[@davidgibson3093]

As editor of Saxophone Journal for many years I became familiar with countless saxophone players in all venues of playing styles. Dave Sanborn was the very best saxophonist ever in his style of playing. He was a true unique artist.

[@jaketaz8741]

Him an Al jaureau songs were my favorite ,😢Godbless sanborn im playing 🎷🎼 becuz of him an will continue 👍🏽

[@flame-sky7148]

Thank you Mr. Sanborn, Straight to the Heart!!💙

[@Edatjazz]

The end of this obituary is a bit sharp. Another supercat hero is gone. Sanborn was certainly the one who introduced me to fusion jazz. I was privileged to see him with another incredible stage beast , Hiram Bullock , may he also rest in peace, this concert was probably the most incredible I ever assist at. Groove is here to stay.

[@sandrasanders706]

Loved Hiram Bullock..yes. RIP

[@rodneyblackburn2022]

I was planning to see him this year. I loved his sound. GREAT sax man. RIP sir.

[@kathleenmoore4019]

[@jackithacker333]

Damn, Bruh had the Funk, RIP SandMan You are Brilliant

[@MadalitsoMaleka]

Not so well known here in Zambia, south central Africa Sanborn's music got to my ears more than 20 years ago. Am very sad. 😢

[@ernieshelby4315]

Thanks for the inspiration! Lady Sax of Gary

[@thabosoweto3094]

Being the son of a saxophonist myself I know the pain p losing a jazz musician this is a great loss!!!

[@hakimalaji1026]

The best of America its music and David Sanborn contributed to it.

[@charlesg3459]

RIp my friend, you were one of the best!

[@Leon-wu4ut]

R.I.P. David 🙏🏽, I remember seeing him in concert at the Imperial Palace back in the day, After the show he signed autographs, he signed my Cd Closer which now hangs in my game room.

[@JA51711]

Rest in peace David and thank you!

[@CristianoFrankSax]

My first referente at 90's when I started to play sax. Sad moment.

[@didiertuilier1319]

Que decir delante de un perdida tan enorme!!....un monstruo del saxo alto, una leyenda difícilmente reemplazable, muy triste....mis condolencias a su familia, hasta siempre David...

[@rma3_3_3]

❤❤❤Thank You❤❤❤ #Farewell ❤❤❤

[@colinfarel]

I'm so sad I never got to see him perform live and I live in NY 16 miles from his home. RIP.

[@angelapleasants8285]

It would have been nice had this piece been done without the aid of AI, however this is a great loss to the music industry. Sanborn was a tremendous talent. RIP.

[@MrBobbybrown7]

What a beautiful tribute. I'd say it was "heartfelt" if it hadn't been so obviously AI generated. Were there no human fans capable of writing an acceptable tribute? Nonetheless, Sanborn left a legacy of music that will last forever. I will miss seeing him perform in a live concert, there was nothing like it.

[@mrmusic248]

I met him once. A consummate gentleman, and a fan of Frank Zappa. Check out the 1st "Brecker Brothers" project from '75 or '76. He handled the alto sax chores.

[@shasha-muse6054]

Was the track "sneaking up behind you" one of them? Iwas in the 7th grade when that came out.... couldn't get enough of that song. The radio stations didn't play it as much as they should have but once I heard it, I was hooked.

[@alphaomegastables]

R.I.P, David Sanborn...See you at the RETURN of OUR PRECIOUS LORD & SAVIOR...JESUS/YESHUA, the CHRIST/MESSIAH !! I PRAY its soon !!

[@claywilkins9627]

David music got me thru many good times and bad....I first listened to him in the 70s on a small phonograph...He truly changed my life for the better...!!!

[@vincenzocherubini2424]

No words can express my sadness. R.I.P to a legend and one of the greatest sax players of all time. My thanks for over 40 yrs of pure heaven. Condolences to his family. A tragic loss.💔

[@ChrisErickson-l8t]

Say hi to Maynard. Heaven is the best jazz club there is. RIP

[@lannycastro6876]

😢😢😢😢😢😢 grande som, que Deus receba e que esteja em paz.

[@williamturner1517]

Had the good fortune to attend seven of David's concerts.

[@josephchristopherlewis6020]

❤ R.I.P. David

[@solecaring1230]

My honest observation is the sound quality of the late David Sanborn during his latter years getting poorer due to his ailment that affected his performance. RIP

[@HoleinOne9918]

RIP DAVID SANBORN 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@stefanoguazzo]

His voice was unique. ❤

[@3RTracing]

One of my musical heroes. Great video TERRIBLE AI VOICE that mis pronounces way to many words. Shame on US Tonight for disgracing David with an AI obituary instead of using a real human being.

[@mdsoulsounds]

Thanks, but too much image moving and incompatible to story lines. PLUS, how about some of his music in the background?

[@jessegatlin6757]

I’m so hurt ;God comfort the family

[@smilingface4761]

Loved him. RIP🙏

the AI voice over is lamentable in pronunciation.

RIP David. To US Tonight... Would it have been that difficult to have an actual human being narrate this? Pretty abrupt ending too. 😞

[@peterthomsen3009]

Un grande Sanborn.
