小简介

David Sanborn可以说是近二十年来其中一个最成功将Soul Jazz推广到群众的萨克斯风手。 早在1970年代, 他已经开始替爵士乐手如Jaco Pastorius、Gil Evans和流行乐手如David Bowie、The Eagles伴奏。到1980年代,他已经确立了在Soul Jazz的举足轻重的地位,前后灌录了17只唱片,获得1只白金及6金唱片,并6次夺得Grammy Award。他的音乐充满了城市感,无论听他的火辣辣、浓情抑或忧怨的吹奏,都不会有过时的感觉

David Sanborn has been the most influential saxophonist on pop, R&B, and crossover players of the past 20 years. Most of his recordings have been in the dance music/R&B vein, although Sanborn is a capable jazz player. His greatest contributions to music have been his passionate sound (with its crying and squealing high notes) and his emotional interpretations of melodies which generally uplift any record he is on. Unlike his countless number of imitators, Sanborn is immediately recognizable within two notes. While growing up in St. Louis, Sanborn played with many Chicago blues greats (including Albert King) and became a skilled alto saxophonist despite battling polio in his youth. After important stints with Paul Butterfield (he played with the Butterfield Blues Band at Woodstock), Gil Evans, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, and the Brecker Brothers, Sanborn began recording as a leader in the mid-70s and he racked up a string of pop successes. Over the years he has worked with many pop players but he has made his biggest impact leading his own danceable bands. Occasionally Sanborn throws the music world a curve: his eccentric but rewarding Another Hand, a guest stint with avant-gardist Tim Berne on a 1993 album featuring the compositions of Julius Hemphill, and a set of ballads (Pearls) on which he is accompanied by a string orchestra arranged by Johnny Mandel. For a couple years in the early 90s, Sanborn was the host of the syndicated television series Night Music which had a very eclectic lineup of musicians (from Sonny Rollins and Sun Ra to James Taylor and heavy metal players), most of whom were given the unique opportunity to play together. It displayed David Sanborns wide interest and musical curiosity even if many of his own recordings remain quite predictable.
