Music reviews of Here and Gone
Music Review: A little too laid-back, but still a solid, 'classic' Sanborn.
Rating: 4 Stars
David Sanborn is, and has always been, rather better than that. An A-list session player, perhaps best known to the wider world for guesting on David Bowie's "Young Americans", he was also a stalwart of the Brecker Brothers band, and on top form he can lend more content to the crossover jazz format than any other altoist.
His technique is fabulous, his command of harmonics and the high register flawless, and his rich, chewy tone is as dense as molten caramel - and when cooled down, as instantly brittle, too.
He has undoubtedly been a huge influence on the smooth jazz wailers with whom no note goes unornamented and no phrase is not weighed down by the heaviest of emotional baggage.
While his previous album were geared toward the crossover jazz market, on his last few releases, particularly "Timeagain" and "Closer" he's been playing with artists who have pushed him, including top bass players like Christian McBride and Marcus Miller. And his playing has been both soulful and boppish.
Now that crossover jazz has given way to an even more watered-down genre known as smooth jazz, the saxophonist has finally "returned to his roots and influences -- R&B, blues and gospel -- and to the music that saxophone players like David "Fathead" Newman and Hank Crawford were playing in the '50s and '60s".-Michael Walch
Recent Ray Charles tribute albums by John Scofield, David "Fathead' Newman and Maceo Parker have mined this territory in the past few years, and all to greater effect.
Perhaps it's his studio-slick sound that betrays him, but Sanborn has to do a lot more before he can get really down and dirty.
With a core backing band of Russell Malone (guitar), Christian McBride (bass) and Steve Gadd (drums), Sanborn has plenty of room to showcase his chops and from the first cut, "St. Louis Blues", jumps out front with his soulful sax.
Eric Clapton, Joss Stone and Sam Moore lend a hand to craft an understated tribute to sax man Hank Crawford, the great arranger for Ray Charles in the 1950s.
The nine songs unfold in the classic Charles style, big on feeling yet economical in delivery.
The highlights: "St. Louis Blues," "Brother Ray" and "I'm Gonna Move to the Outskirts of Town" specialize in restraint. "The latter features a few tasty guitar licks and a cocktail-lounge vocal by Clapton, above a simmering big-band arrangement".Jim Abbott
Other highlights: "I Believe to My Soul", featuring Joss Stone, who tries her best to sound natural and soulful, and Sam Moore's moving "I've Got News for You".
It may be a little too laid-back, but it is still a good snapshot of what he's doing now.
The overall style remains tasteful, soulful and classy.
David Sanborn's fans will not be disappointed.

Description of Here and Gone
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.Jazz CDs
