David Sanborn - Straight To The Heart

David Sanborn - Straight To The Heart - Live At Montreux 1984

[@714Jamming]

🎶🎷 DAVID SANBORN ~ Rest In Paradise 🎷🎶 So saddened to learn of David’s passing yesterday from prostate cancer. He was one of my favorite saxophonists having grown up with three brothers and a sister who all played sax. Here is my all-time favorite Sanborn tune which holds cherished memories for me. Thank you, David for your musical legacy that will live on! (May 13, 2024) 🕊️

[@SeattleBlythe]

Who's left of his caliber? I remember driving in the dark through the mountains with the top down on my car in the late 80's to my parent's house 375 miles away listening to this album. Hearing this takes me back to the chill of the mountain air.

[@Santiago-hh5vx]

After years of only listening to your music on cassette tape I finally got the honor and privilege of attending the clearwater jazz festival in 2008. Words will never suffice to express my awe and gratitude for your gift to the world. I've loved your music since the 80's. Rest in peace my dear brother. Your music will live on in the hearts of all us who will always love you. My condolences to your family and the hundreds, if not millions of fans and collaborators who I'm certain grieve your passing ........ thank you for pushing me to always strive for excellence...thank you for the gift you left us.....😢😢😢😢😢😢

I am nearly overwhelmed with such powerful emotions and memories of a college sweetheart, listening to this beautiful music: “It’s You”, “Moon Tune”, “As We Speak”, “Tequila Sunrise”, et. al. Thank you, David Sanborn!🫠

He was truly a great saxophonist. Loved to listen to the song 'Maputo' which he did with Bob James, and 'I fell for you', featuring another legend, Al Jarreau. RIP David

[@georgefernandez676]

So thankful to see David & Hiram @ The Greek Theater in Berkeley. They were the Dynamic Duo back in the day, absolute LEGENDS in the Contemporary Jazz Arena. Now they’re together again✨

[@BKHoliwell]

I'll admit to this being one of my favorite David Sanborn songs, so exquisitely performed and I'll also admit to though being a longtime lover of math and science as a now retired pediatrician, but my first love, passion was for instrumental music as an alto, tenor and baritone sax player until I had to set it aside for the lack of adequate time! I just so love all things music and after having to retire from medicine due to a stroke that has left me minus 40 or so million neurons, brain cells and therefore technically permanently disabled; I'm so very much thankful to be alive though and so thankful to have revealed to me this rare compensatory autonomic sensory neurologic phenomenon when listening to certain superbly played songs, in that I experience these tunes by not just audibly hearing them but experiencing them in a full body somewhat symbiotic experience in that I feel the notes all over my body accompanied by a soothing mild warmth, tingling throughout my body and a brain euphoric state of mind! Wow, I'm so blessed!!!

[@ladykws]

God Bless you! I hope you are doing well. I appreciate your story. Take care!

[@reginaldhelm9168]

Hearing this for the first time while stationed over seas in the Airforce is the reason I picked up the saxophone. Although I play this song live, it will never measure up to this. I still love tis version 38 years later. ;-)

[@nelenegaston7187]

GOD BLESS YOU!!! I will pray to OUR LORD AND SAVIOR, CHRIST JESUS, for the miracle of healing for you, as HE is capable, indeed!!! Until then, I pray for your continued blessing of the profound effect that superb music and musicianship has on you. Trust me, I know the effect that David Sanborn had on my friend and I, who attended the Jacksonville Jazz Festival 2023 just this past Memoral Day weekend on Saturday evening. His performance was SURREAL. We actually both cried during the concert. He was EXCELLENT!!!

[@matthewrau1763]

I’ll pray for you! God blessed me with a miraculous healing of my brain tumor, after I was given 2-4 months to live by Mayo. God can do anything, anytime. St. Andrew Avellino, patron Saint of stroke victims, please intercede, Thank you!

[@toniagreen7836]

This song takes me back to when I lived n Houston. KPVU Prarieview used to play this song a lot along w/his other classics. Gr8ful for the memories and the catalog of his music. May he r.i.p.

[@bashendrikse2985]

RIP David Sanborn. Had the luck to see and hear him a few times at the North Sea Jazz festival in The Hague, the Netherlands..Thanks for the music...

[@BNforever2009]

Another favorite song of mine. When I first heard this back in the late 70's, I was hooked on him. Rest in Peace David Sanborn. Your music will live on forever and future music artist will play or sample your songs because you laid out the groundwork for "new jazz".

[@KingKleanfacerMausberg1009]

Him, Najee, Gerald Albright, Kenny G., sooooo many more!! Love these guys!

Sad to hear this . Have great musical memories ,his work with Marcus Miller particularly, but all his stuff.I loved his sound and his music I will always associate with driving on holiday in the States , wonderful memories. Amazed to hear recently he played with Ian Hunter on "You nearly did me in " , with Queen on backing vocals!! A sad loss, condolences to all his family and friends.Will be missed

Plain and simple truth...Sanborn is the baddest Sax player I have heard. David Sanborn and Marcus makes some amazing music and their concerts never disappoint!

[@paulw1570]

That band deserve a medal 🏅

[@picoman1714]

The saddest news I heard was that Hiram had died. Christ, it brings a tear to my eyes just thinking of it. I was privileged to see David Sanborn play at Hammersmith Odeon in the mid 1980s and it was simply the best gig I have ever been too. David was brilliant and Hiram was just incredible. The ultimate showman. RIP Hiram and thanks to you and David and Marcus for such great memories.

[@TonyAguirreJazz]

RIP Dave, you were one of a kind

[@anthearedmond6047]

I was given this album as a gift in 1989 and fell completely in love with it, especially this tremendous track. It’s timeless to me, and I never tire of hearing it, and it gives me goosebumps every single time.

Still listening to this classic tune by David in 2020.

I'm glad Marcus Miller made this

[@JosephAraza]

I lost count how many horns, mouthpieces and reeds I tried to come anywhere close to DS sound. He’s truly one and only!

[@hamiltonmays4256]

Did you figure out it wasn't any of those things?

[@JosephAraza]

@@hamiltonmays4256 I sure did, I finally realized it was my jaw bones so I’m getting a plastic surgery next week, I’m sure that will do it, if not then I’ll try adjusting the vocal chords ☺️. But on the serious note, I have no regrets in my quest, I came across a great set up that fits my style. If I could only practice more 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@hamiltonmays4256]

@@JosephAraza Glad to hear it. Best of luck. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@charlesprice7295]

The legend of David sanborn…Blessed to have seen him in concert

[@KingGrio]

When I hear David Sanborn play those light notes, all these dynamics from quiet to loud, the push/pull tempo totally intentional. I realize that even if I could play my guitar like I wish I could in my imagination (no limits to my technique), I wouldn't have such an amazing instinct and feel. What a master.

[@edwinprabhu-official6604]

[@michaelwendell6208]

David Sanborn in my opinion is the best sax player of all time.....He has inspired many of us with his hip licks !

[@ferrellscott351]

I wouldn't say he's the goat.BUT HE DO, WHAT HE DO.

[@ChokeArtist411]

No.

[@babshai]

Best live sax performance ever, as far as I'm concerned.

[@pierregordon5493]

This has got to be one of the most beautiful " phrased" love songs played on a saxophone. I'm a jazz trumpeter and love the brass sound. However, If I could play the sax, I wish to play like him, especially on this very romantic tune!

[@kevintownsend3721]

Bingo

[@cityofchamps66]

I remember being 19 turning 20 when this album/CD came out,it got me hooked on jazz and even more so on David Sanborn and with no disrespect, I don't think I've listened to a better jazz album since

[@a.cardott3928]

good memories! just, before you finalize that comment on better jazz record, make sure you listen to Miguel Zenon's Puerto Rican Songbook :) :) yer welcome!

[@morrisparrish76]

I get so hung up listening to “the dream” that I forget sanborn made many other great songs! This is one of those “many other great songs”!

[@78summerbreeze]

Killer sax playing man!!! One of the best!!

[@brucelaymon8040]

Wow! One of the best Sax Players ever and his band is off the chains. I had the pleasure of seeing David back in the 70's and 80's and he's still the baddest sax player ever.

[@layala1000]

I first discovered Sanborn back in 9th grade with this very song and 7yrs later I still get chills listening to this exact recording.. I remember at one point I thought I’d never hear this version again as KZbin had taken down the only video of this performance but when I saw it had resurfaced the joy in my heart was almost palpable

[@PopedonKolaire]

A true gentlemen and a tremendous musical prodigy and scholar. Thanks Mr. Sandborn for your innovations and contributions to smooth jazz and for sharing your gift of music with the whole entire world.
