Album Description:
On "Here and Gone," David Sanborn places his saxophone squarely within the context of the jazz-inflected pop music history that he himself has long been a part of. And while it was conceived as a tribute to his heroes, it inevitably traces his own development as the man who has heroically taken the saxophone to the next level. Few musicians are so closely identified with their instrument that they overshadow their peers, but the iconic David Sanborn truly merits his singular position as a saxophonist, unrivaled as a player who straddles the pop and jazz worlds while commanding respect in both. In pop, he is justly famed for his standout solo on David Bowie's 1975 hit "Young Americans"--one of many celebrated recording projects that evolved out of Sanborn's live supporting roles. Indeed, his matchless tone has additionally been sought to bolster performances by the esteemed likes of Eric Clapton, the Eagles, the Rolling Stones, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Miles Davis, Bruce Springsteen and Stevie Wonder--many of whom have likewise gone on to enlist his inimitable sax presence in the studio.
Album Description:
Here and Gone is a tribute to the sound of Hank Crawford, David "Fathead" Newman, Ray Charles, etc. Backing Sanborn are Steve Gadd (drums) and Christian McBride (bass). Guests include Eric Clapton, Joss Stone, Sam Moore, Derek Trucks and Anthony Wilson. Here and Gone was produced by yet another legend and longtime friend: Phil Ramone. "Joss is a real phenomenon," Sanborn says. "It takes a forceful talent to take a song "I Believe It to My Soul" that Ray Charles not only wrote but really defined and put your own identity on it." Sanborn, who has been friends with Eric Clapton for many years and a collaborator with him on several previous projects, asked Eric to play on Percy Mayfield's "I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town." "Fortunately he agreed not only to sing on it but play on it! But he's got such a great understanding of what the music is about and the way it should be presented." Sanborn's song selection - like "I've Got News For You" which features Sam Moore of Sam & Dave fame - gives the listener a glimpse to his sense of humor. From the Label

- Great sax playing
As always, David Sanborn's sax playing is without compare.He is a master of technique that is able to etch a considerable amount of emotion and character into everything he plays.My big beef with this disc is that it seems watered down. Most of the things I enjoy about a Sanborn disk, rhythmic, musical and tonal complexity are, for the most part, absent from this disk.The guest appearances are great, especially Sam Moore, who absolutely knocks it out of the park.But for the most part, this ...

- What Happened to the David Sanborn Music That I Remembered?
I didn't care for it at all.The whole CD didn't sound like the music David Sanborn is capable of.

- great as usual
have enjoyed David's music for 20 years now, and he rarely disappoints.this album is more of a blues album, which is a slight change in genre for him, but is still worth the listen.
Rating: - another sanborn hit!!
Great album, been a couple of years since Dave's last CD. This is the original David Sanborn.
Rating: - Excellent salute to some old blues tunes
I have been a fan of David's for almost 30 years and I am always very impressed by his music both live as well as on cd (or LP for that matter.) I have had the pleasure of meeting David several times and can say he is just as genuine a person as he comes across through his music. This cd is no exception. It contains some great interpretations of some old standards and also features some excellent vocal performances. It comes across as though it was recorded live in the studio but I'm sure it was not...though ... Read More
