Timeagain (Ss): David Sanborn: Amazon.ca: Music

Product Description

From Amazon.com

It's not hyperbole to say that this is Sanborn's best record since his Warner Brothers heyday of the '80s. The same can be said of the quality of the musicians gathered for the alto saxophonist's first album for Verve. The material may be the best he's ever assembled, with many cover tunes that are singularly identified with other artists, yet he redefines them. None of those words are meant to disparage those Grammy-winning gold albums of yore, it just his high standards have been magnified many fold on these 10 tracks. From the absolutely smoke-any-kind-of groove all-star band featuring a wailing Russell Malone on guitar, Christian McBride on bass, Mike Mainieri from Steps Ahead on vibes, and Sanborn's longtime keyboard player, Ricky Peterson, to the sterling arrangements of re-imaged classics, including Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" done as a ballad and the timeless "Harlem Nocturne" spiced with world music overtones, this record sparkles. "Comin' Home Baby" and "Christo Redentor," songs made famous in the '60s by Herbie Mann and Donald Byrd respectively, are interpreted with such passion and fire, it's as if the melodies have belonged to Sanborn the whole time. His exquisite alto tone shines throughout the proceedings, and Malone just shows off on "Sugar," and one of three Sanborn originals, "Spider B." --Mark Ruffin

3.0 out of 5 stars Whats going on Mr Sanborn?, Jun 21 2004

Hippo (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Timeagain (Audio CD)

When I looked at this album first thing that captuered my eye was the songs played in this album! their were 'Harlem nocturne' and 'Tequila', this two songs are commonly played by the bigner sax players, maybe its because this album is dedicated to his san, I also played this two songs when I was at high school. Any way I was very excited to hear my favorite sax player playing this common songs, I was bit disapointed on 'Harlem nocturne' but 'Tequila' Rocked!!! It is fun to play and fun to listen to.

Over all I was very unhappy with this album, I thought if he was going to make this album like week very Jazzy fusion he should of made it full-on Jazz(Crazy one like Johncoltrane). That way it atract more media, I wated for 3 or 4 years for this album and it was only this, very disapointed, very very disapointed.

When I was driving my car on the highways.Some kind of wailing blow caught my ears.That was the SANBORN.Since then I am a great fan of his.This time DAVID went through the tunnels called "Mannerism"finally.His soothing sax sound always fills me with joy.And this CD is pretty damn good.DAVID still shines like a diamond.The sleeping lion finally woke up.He evokes our soul gently and emotionally.

I sampled this on Amazon. After the first two tracks I knew I had to have it! I bought just after Christmas and it's one of the best CDs I bought in 2003. I love Mr. Sanborn style of play and he "works" it well on this album. Don't miss out!
