David Sanborn , the Grammy-winning saxophonist who played lively solos on such hits as David Bowie's “Young Americans” and James Taylor's “How Sweet It Is ” and enjoyed his own highly successful recording career as a performer of melodic, contemporary jazz, has died at age 78.
The news of the loss of David Sanborn to the music world has deeply saddened me,” pianist Bob James, who collaborated with Sanborn on the Grammy-winning “Double Vision” album, wrote on Facebook. “I was so privileged to share major highlights of my career in partnership with him. His legacy will live on through the recordings. Every note he played came straight from his heart, with a passionate intensity that could make an ordinary tune extraordinary.
Jazz has always transformed and absorbed what's around it,” he told DownBeat magazine in 2017. “Real musicians don't have any time to spend thinking about limited categories.”
