I still think Sanborn's best work was with the Butterfield Blues Band - especially that solo on "In My Own Dream", but then I'm old! I think the guy has had a very distinctive voice on the alto for a long time, and is a remarkable player. Night Music presents much great playing by him in unique settings and he handles them with aplomb, taste and ...respect. I can't listen to his recordings though, my taste and tolerance for the smooth jazz thing was used up decades ago. It's a frustration - I really like his playing and sound, just don't like the music he usually plays...I will check out "Another Hand" though, thanks!
I've dug Abbey Lincoln since I first heard "We Insist" 30 years ago. There are some other great clips on Youtube with her and Roach. Check 'em out!
