[@ScuffedHomie]

saved the best for last, fr this whole set is so cool. Thank you youtube for this recommendation

[@arnoldmusic]

The best music show ever!. Thank you Mr. David Sanborn for your vision and direction.

[@nathaniellollis3868]

Marcus Miller, Omar Hakim, David Sanborn, Hiram Bullock and Philippe Saisse had been (and will ALWAYS BE) the best house band I've EVER heard!!! Absolutely LOVE these guys!!!!

[@brentduanefoster]

Simply a reflection of the AMAZING music of that time!!

Il faut croire que les goûts des téléspectateurs ont changés (pas les miens!)car on ne propose depuis qq ans bcp de programmes (« télé-réalités,Hanouna,Féraud..etc,nulles pour moi-je dois être le seul?car je regrette Ardisson ET Sébastien qui étaient seuls a présenter des émission de »vraie variété « à la télévision)Il règne de plus un « jeunisme » insupportable !!🎶🎶🎶❤️

[@shanef8728]

because people prefer pretentious shows which show plastic performers with no musical talents whatsoever such as that ghastly x factor hosted by the equally ghastly simon cowell sad !

[@fredericdouglas3574]

[@rwms007357]

REST IN PEACE, JOE SAMPLE. ANOTHER GREAT PIANIST LIKE GEORGE DUKE.....GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!!!! YOUR LEGACY WILL LIVE ON...........!

[@edennard1]

Well said .. Also RIP Hiram Bullock who also was a real good Guitarist who's a member of this faboulous Quintet.

[@rwms007357]

Yes,he really was! Please check out the new prodigy pianist Joey Alexander. At the age of 7, he started to play the piano.The cat is really good. He up for 2 Grammys this year at the age of 12yrs. No one did not teach him how to play, he learned listening his dad's records...Monk, Basie, Ellington. There's a 60 MINUTES episode on him. Check him out!

[@Spartanm333]

And RIP Hiram Bullock, the regular guitarist in this band with Marcus Miller on bass - wow! The twist here is that they got Brit Jools Holland - great musician and musical historian now has a similar show on UK (last 20 years).

[@M3TaGh0sStT]

Unreal! Can’t believe I found this

[@dalemcilwain]

Just listening to Joe Sample's Spellbound made me feel 35 years younger. Made me get ready for that dreaded Monday in a good mood. Thank you for letting me feel your music and vision, Mr. Joseph Leslie Sample. May you truly rest with the ancestors. 🎹🎹☺️☺️🌹🌹🌹🌹

[@andrewj4442]

#JoeSample we miss you! I'll always be #SpellBound by your musical talents!

[@brentduanefoster]

“Spellbound” was one of his GREATEST albums.

[@florencio0001]

And his piano solo in Al Jarreau' s " Spain " live in 1990 ...super

[@jeffturton8416]

Fun having Joe Sample and Donald Fagan in your house band

[@M3TaGh0sStT]

Once in a lifetime for those who understand

[@dalemcilwain]

That was rare. I know a decade before Sample did a guest spot on a Steely Dan song on the Aka album.

[@TheNoticies]

Night Music excellent document of the greats of music.

[@pretorious700]

Joe Sample was so brilliant it makes me want to cry.

[@SuperBass1964]

I used to watch this show in the late 80's. Always great artists and my favorite musicians in the house band... Marcus Miller, Omar Hakim, Hiram Bullock and Philipe Saise.

[@Socaman20]

This was 45:50 of pure musical joy .This was when it was worth watching TV on a late sunday night . This show always showcased an eclectic cross section of artists and bands of every genre and idiom in music. It's a shame that shows like this aren't still on TV but thanks for posting this rare gem .KZbin will keep the legacy of these great shows alive for many generations to come and enjoy of a once glorious time in TV.

[@TheColtswin1]

RIP David Sanborn.......

[@byronlee7859]

One of the greatest collection of jazz performers ever.

[@catboyzee]

I'm so grateful for the Night Music TV show. The level of musical talent it showcased during its short two year run is unparalleled for its time period. RIP to Joe Sample and Hiriam Bullock

[@jonathanstewart5269]

Please, please, please remaster these recordings! This show was a treasure, complete unique and there are things here that deserve to be archived with some refinement. RIP Hal Wilmer, who passed a few years ago, but is a person deserving of wider recognition, who was the musical coordinator of this show.

[@FCntertainr]

That Spellbound CD was great! Joe Sample great artist crusader! RIP

[@brentduanefoster]

LEGEND!!!!

[@earitch5856]

'memba watching this show as a teenager and being super inspired musically. So sad to hear about David's passing... getting old sucks.

[@haroldbrooks4235]

Wow, I had forgotten about this amazing show. Glad I stumbled across it. What a lineup 😊

[@themostimportantshipmentev8222]

This performance of IGY is magical

[@RQLuib]

When the world turns blue the song lives on with the great unforgettable Joe Sample :)

[@mistersato7007]

I remember my old days. I watched this on TV in Japan. So I could listen to a lot of good music. Thanks.

[@AnandaSim]

First time watching this. I never got to see Joe Sample live, his improv and tones in any of his live work is astounding - I love what he added to Earl Klugh's Dr. Macumba. And Earl on acoustic guitar is massive in making such an instrument stand out

[@brentduanefoster]

Joe is truly the 🐐🐐🐐🐐

[@williambarney2874]

Why aren't there any DVD or Blu-ray versions of this? Thank you for uploading these videos. Absolutely Awesome Show!! Sadly, i would have been in bed when these aired, having to wak up for highschool the next morning. In retrospect, I should have stayed up! lol

[@milesdust3465]

One of the greatest musical shows ever. Not a single mistake, except this one. Donald Fagen who hated to play live, and then just forced to play one of the greatest compositions ever. Sitting there silent, behind a DX-7. The humans will never learn.

[@Lajazz947]

milesdust wow couldn’t have written that better , what a shame

[@MrTergugah]

Not sure if Donald Fagen hated playing live ..think he just hated touring & the shenanigans that went with it (drug misuse, alcohol & groupies etc)..DF is all about the music & production.

[@snowstorm5590]

Omar Hakim - Great drummer!

[@got2bharmony]

This video is becoming more and more priceless as the opportunity to see bands of this calibre and originality in their field disappears. You really can't beat Omar Hakim, Marcus Miller and Hiram Bullock as a rhythm section and Phillipe Saisse is a highly underappreciated musician (and all the others too). Great to have a legendary host in David Sanborn who regularly hired those guys on his most successful early albums. Jools Holland is a strange fruit and a musical minnow compared to these guys, but to his credit he promotes a vast spectrum of music and gives new talent a chance on mainstream TV which doesn't exist elsewhere. Thanks for uploading and sharing, many good comments posted already, I watched this upload years ago, not sure why I didn't thank the poster then.

[@andyinoregon]

Sax legend David Sanborn ... thickest head of hair on the planet!

FANTASTIC MUSIC ON THIS EDITION OF THE SHOW

[@bbfrid88]

I couldn't wait for this show every Sunday.

[@marcusvolta6685]

The best music Showcase ever presented on American Television, period. David Sanborn, Marcus Miller, Hiram Bullock, Omar Hakim, Earl Klugh, Joe Sample: Incredible visionaries and amazing contributions to the advancement of the MUSIC art form.

[@brentduanefoster]

I stumbled across this show by accident. Where has this hidden gem been? I was clearly a child when this came out. I get late night TV vibes.

[@chicorico6085]

Sanborn always sounded so freaking good with every guess on this show.

[@dalemcilwain]

Sanborn & Sample always were at the jazz crossroads. There was an audio recording of Joe Sample choosing his own All Star Band. Sanborn was on top of his list.

[@aliciahollis4367]

OMG!!! Earl and Joe amazing!!!!!

[@ronaldclark8174]

Just re-discovered these lost treasurers. I am so grateful for the posting of this music! I couldn't ask for a better lineup of artists. They are all favorites of mine, everyone. While only 2 years of musical segments were recorded (much more needed to cover the real music of the time) I appreciate what has been captured.

[@maxalfredjoelasemoule3993]

Cutting I.G.Y. before it ends, when performed by such a bunch of people, should be considered a capital sin :-)

[@theoldanarchist]

Yeah, they should have cut that bullshit with Jools Holland trying to figure out what it means to be cool. There are cool Brits (Georgie Fame is a good example), but Jools Holland ain't one of them.

[@apostleericclark7603]

I agree.

[@luvmenow33]

For real!

[@BENJ1969]

I miss everything about this program: the host, the format, the content, the talent, and most of all, the timeslot-it was the perfect nightcap on a Sunday night. I first heard of Earl Klugh by recommendation of one of the most beautiful girls I ever met while at Northern Ill. University (Maria Garcia!). I'd already been greatly familiar with George Benson, and it just so happened the two recorded and toured with their "Collaboration" album, coming just off of Klugh's fabulous "Wishful Thinking" album. Both are faves of mine to this day. I saw them on this tour at Chicago's Arie Crown Theater, and I've never looked back. Klugh is just a fabulous, unassuming talent to listen to. His pairing with Benson, a natural one. In no time I was familiar with others in that category of music, including Joe Sample, Bob James, Dav Kos, among others-I was already a huge David Sanborn fan. These are two great performances and songs by both Klugh and Sample.

[@jazzsounds8159]

I can't believe how clear the sound is from 1988.

[@tallsmile28]

Omar Hakim on drums!

[@dalemcilwain]

Watching Night Music was a perfect way to end the weekend. The show aired on late Sunday night early Monday morning at around 12:15AM on locally WNBC Channel 4. It helped me relax for the most dreaded day of the week. Night Music was recorded in Broadway Studios. The same studio Saturday Night Live is recorded at. 🎷🎺🥁🎹

[@milesmorris9333]

Actually, SNL is taped at 30 Rock. Night Music was taped at EUE/Screen Gems in its first season, then Chelsea Television Studios for its second.

@@dalemcilwain You sure about that? Because I checked the closing credits of both seasons of Night Music. And everyone knows that SNL is taped at 30 Rock.
