David Sanborn – Lotus Blossom
Biography
Tampa, Florida
Sanborn, who suffered from polio in his youth, has been a highly regarded session player since the mid 1970s. One of his first professional gigs was as a member of Paul Butterfield’s band. One of Sanborn’s earliest guest recordings was on David Bowie’s Young Americans. Around this time his output as a session player became prolific and over the next ten years he played with a dazzling array of artists, such as Paul Simon, James Taylor (contributing to the remake of the Marvin Gaye classic “How Sweet It Is”), The Rolling Stones, The Eagles and Stevie Wonder.
In the late 1980s he was a regular guest member of Paul Shaffer’s band on Late Night with David Letterman. From 1988-89, he co-hosted a late-night TV music show on NBC with Jools Holland. The show, “Night Music”, following producer Hal Willner’s eclectic approach, drew Sanborn together with many famed musicians, such as Miles Davis, Lou Reed, Santana, Curtis Mayfield, and many others.
Throughout his career, Sanborn has skirted the edges of free jazz: In his youth he studied with Roscoe Mitchell and Julius Hemphill, and performed on Tim Berne’s Diminutive Mysteries, dedicated to Hemphill.

There needs to be a new word created just for his music. Exquisite doesn't come close.

David Sanborn was my first exposure to Jazz and the Saxophone, thanks to my friend, Jobari, and him lending me his Voyeur album. I never gave it back, that's how much I loved it! Sorry Jobari! Been a fan ever since.
