Phil Woods and David Sanborn from Night Music, 1988

[@user-se6cw5of7l]

So very sad to hear that David Sanborn has just passed away. I hope that if there is a heaven that he is rejoined by so many of his predecessors including this other genius Phil Woods. Rest in Peace. Your gorgeous music will live on.

[@trafyknits9222]

This is how live music is supposed to be played...no fake playing to the recording. This is greatness. RIP, David Sanborn. He's a legend.

[@diowil1]

Sandborn was an incredible talent with a library of work that is completely amazing. Go in peace Mr. David Sanborn you will live in our hearts and our minds forever.

[@johngevaudan3102]

I was lucky to see David live a couple of times in London heading a concert with Spyro Gyra and Al Jareau what a concert. I started to tune into David in the early 80s and have been lucky to have listened and seen what to me is the finest auto saxophone player around and for that I’m truly grateful. RIP David you’ll be very sadly missed ❤

[@JA51711]

Two incredible musicians. Rest in peace David. This is brilliant musicianship. Master class. Both are incredible Legends teaching so much to the listeners volumes of knowledge. Phil Woods played historical references making, for example, Bebop come to life. The smooth modern progressive and the historical purest blending fantasticslly

[@michaelives5665]

Worked at one of the greatest record stores in the northeast, the Record Archive, in Rochester, NY, around the time this was aired, and recall a segment of Night Music when D. Sanborn paired Leonard Cohen singing "Who by Fire" with Sonny Rollins, which all of us at the record store could not stop talking about. Memories flood in quite suddenly. Love how they intro the tune with the vamp from Miles' "All Blues" but then tear into "Willow Weep ..."

[@JamesZaworski]

Dave was a class act all the way. His Night Music show was too short lived. His respect for jazz, jazz musicians, and the history and culture of jazz are displayed and performed here. It's a sad day to realize Dave is gone. He was a wonderful musician and composer and his music is his part of his legacy equaled by his humanity and equanimity. I saw Dave in Hong Kong in 2010. Wow.

Phil plays so still and with such fluidity. His fingers don’t detach from the saxophone 🎷.

Two fabulous musicians, and two great human beings. Had the honor to meet both and to record with Sanborn on Luiz Millan's Brazilian Match album. What a band! So good to watch Tom Barney, Omar Hakim, Don Alias, Hiram Bullock and Philippe Saisse playing together!!!

[@marcelladillard3556]

David Sanborn takes me back. He's jammin' with the Greats who went before him.🎉

[@Jeff_New_Jersey]

I loved David's music so much. Zero ego and 100% talent. Got to see him live a few times. I loved his Night Music show! RIP, play that sax with the harps and angels You will be missed.❤

[@cpg8000]

Phil is an absolute beast here

[@jeffryphillipsburns]

Wonderful. I had no idea that Sanborn and Phil Woods could be compatible. Notice how Phil begins his solo just where Sanborn leaves off (I mean in terms of what he’s playing).

[@martyshwaartz971]

The sound Phil woods gets out of that horn is just something else

[@marknewton6984]

Saw him like live in 1986 Florida. Great show with Tom Harrell trumpet Still have poster. Go Phil! 😎

[@jasongarey8329]

I appreciate this at face value without comparing Dave and Phil. Phil came up in the jazz world. Dave came up in the blues and R&B world. The main thing is that they seemed enjoy playing together.

[@kentcohea3240]

I had the opportunity to know Dave when we both were going to the State University of Iowa 1968. We were in the Jazz lab band that went to the Notre Dame Jazz Festival. It was great to see his career take off and influence so many young alto players.

[@leanidis300]

RIP David you were always a class act, I played Chicago Song till the record wore out...

[@JK-js2td]

I learned the Chicago song years ago...still one of my fave songs to play

[@davidscott1052]

The go to sax guy ...his memorable solo on Billy Joel's 'Just the way you are ' is remembered by everyone ...but maybe not known who played it by everyone 🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@johncarr4107]

Yep, and the Dan's Dr. Wu & so many more. Fantastic player

[@fretbuzz59]

Wow!! Those guys are legends! The only one that's still around is Dave Sanborn- RIP Phil Woods and Hiram Bullock.

[@michaelhorozko2347]

Not as of Yesterday, Sad. Rip Mr. Sanborn...

[@MrBobbybrown7]

@@michaelhorozko2347 It's almost unbelievable! I first heard David Sanborn at my cousin's home when I was visiting relatives in Saint Louis (which is where Sanborn grew up, but I believe he was born in Florida) The album was a vinyl of "Straight to the Heart" and up to that point the only important music to me was gospel worship music...today that album is STILL my favorite! My wife and I have seen him in concert a few times over the decades most recently at the Jewel Jazz Club in Omaha NE. Nobody (not named Stevie Wonder) did it better than David Sanborn!

[@cardboardmusic]

I love Dave's wild hair. But more seriously, what so great about Phil Woods was so modern, he played all the styles, so many killing solos on pop albums ... and we haven't even started to discuss all his amazing jazz albums.

[@pixamite1]

Wow!!! So powerful. Getting into saxophone music later in life, but it's never too late as long as you are on the right side of the ground.

[@Gk2003m]

My man Phil, my man Phil. When he plays he will amaze you with his skill

[@revijazzz]

What song is this?

[@Gk2003m]

Album was called My Man Benny, My Man Phil. Benny Carter and Phil Woods, recorded and released in 1989

[@PepperWilliamsMusicBlend]

Phil Woods hands down is killing it. Sonny Stitt told me one time, "always keep your fingers so close to the keys that people can't see them move". This is what PW is doing on this solo!

[@jeffryphillipsburns]

I don't quite get this comment. Why wouldn't every saxophone player be touching the keys pretty much all the time? Where else would the fingers go? I never played a saxophone, but I used to play the clarinet before the pandemic pretty much obliterated my practice space. Except for the fifth fingers having to man several keys and some register maneuvering with the thumb , it seems to me the fingers staying put was just normal technique--unless my memory is failing me or I was deceiving myself at the time.

[@jeffryphillipsburns]

By the way, I googled you, and I see that we both attended Berkeley High School--only mine was in Missouri. I like to tell people I graduated from Berkeley, and just leave it at that. (I can also say that I studied counterpoint with Bach--it just happens to have been Jan Bach, though, not Johann Sebastian.)

[@PepperWilliamsMusicBlend]

@@jeffryphillipsburns Keeping the fingers so close to the keys makes it easier to play faster.

[@EricTorreborre]

I am always amazed by how much David Sanborn's fingers are flying but his whole posture is unique anyway!

[@jwmc41]

Yes but the other guy gets around OK!

I loved this show. Dave Sanborn had some of the greatest jazz musicians on his show and also paid homage to the greats that had passed on the torch. He leaves a great legacy for other aspiring jazz musicians. In his own right, one of the greats himself. ❤ RIP

[@Ewerb7]

This was such and incredible show! Here Dave gets to trade licks with one of his idols. The band is just sensational.

[@balisaani]

I was sad too. Great show, taped all of them to watch after my gigs. People in the American midwest, southeast, south and midlands weren't watching it - advertisers pulled out of it. No money, no show. Kinda like dating works (in America at least).

[@alonsotoro7904]

Me perdonan, pero detesto a Sanborn, reconozco que es un músico muy dotado pero es el mal gusto con flux y tocando sax. Phil Woods es todo lo contrario, es la pureza, la autenticidad la inteligencia, y la honestidad más absoluta, ligada a un talento gigante.

[@datrizonkun]

Si bien yo personalmente tampoco me fumo mucho el estilo de Sanborn (de hecho no es para nada mi tipo de estilo) humildemente de aceptar que demuestra sin lugar a dudas saber tocar jazz e inclusibe haber estudiado y tener lo necesario para ello. Simplemente no es su gusto tocar jazz tradicional o más apegado al sonido característico del saxofon jazzistico. Lo mismo sucede con muchos otros, como Eric Mariethal, Maceo Parker, Paquito DeRivera, etc

[@edgenovese]

Look, there are the giants and those who follow. Dave is a contemporary , The originators are the real deal. Phil has more intent in each note and more charter than David's skills. Phil is the real deal, Like J. Coltrane. and Bill Evans, they are rare and bring the gifts none of before and nor after...You cannot imitate texture...

[@christophbrylka6256]

Sanborn looks and sounds like a student in direct comparison with Phil Woods.
