❤️Loved his music RIP

There was a direct line from Sanborn’s soul through his horn. RIP sir…

I was there for that show.. I had worked on that song with Marcus Miller and he asked me to come in to program the synthesizes to get the sounds that we got on the record.. we had a blast hanging with the band… great song and David will be severely missed.. a true icon.. I did four albums with him… nobody will ever sound like him..

Same here, Sanborn was my fave sax player. I saw him in Chicago @JVC Jazz Fest back 30 yrs ago or such. What a tremendous loss. Immediately Googled, first video I played. Great respects to David Sanborn & his music. Rest In Peace & thank U for all the music that inspired & moved us... 🙏🕊🙏

David Sanborn and The World's Most Dangerous Band were always fantastic. The song they played in the clip showcases everyone's talents. Just great.

RIP to the great Mr. Sanborn. An indelible part of Late Night.

Merci M. Letterman and your team for supporting musicians so fervently throughout those years. Watching Sanborn on thursday nights was always a treat for me.

I’m devastated. He was so influential in expanding my appreciation for jazz.

Letterman exposed me to Sanborn and I became a lifelong fan. R.I.P.

I think that's probably true for me too.

Sanborn’s music always grooves-jazz, funk, contemporary-the groove is momentous and gloriously textured.

A most iconic, passionate Jazz musician! He raised the bar! You will be greatly missed, David Sanborn! Rest with the angels, Sir.

My Dad said to me back in those days ... you have to hear this guy on sax on the late show ! He has been one of my biggest influences in my Saxophone life ! What an inspiration Sanborn has been !!!

RIP Mr Sanborn. You were the soundtrack to my teenage life.

This hurts. I always loved his music & style of playing. He was in my top 3 favorite saxophonists list. One of my regrets in life now, will be that I didn't see him live, in the late '80's, when I had multiple opportunities. R.I.P. Sir, thank you for sharing your gift & your music with the world. You will be greatly missed. Condolences to his wife and son. 🎷💔

Rikke, my favorite. Best song ever! Didn't receive the recognition it deserved. RIP David, you were an amazing soul and an outstanding sax performer.

The Most Awarded In Contemporal Jazz Sounds! RIP!!!

Like it was yesterday. Mr. Sanborn, you made the years pass by so smoothly. Thank you for that, and all the great music. RIP sir.💐☮🙏💔

Beautifully said. On this funky trip called life, heroes like this provide our soundtrack.

Thanks for the tribute, Mr. Letterman you are still a class act.

David is one of the major reasons I played sax and earned a music degree. I can remember sitting in one of my first music lessons in college and was asked who my favorite artist was and replied David Sanborn and my sax teacher had no clue who he was. For my generation the song the dream was the song. It was one of the first songs to ever use true stereo and surround recording techniques. The song literally moved from side to side and enveloped you with sound. To this day, it is one of the most emotional songs by a sax player ever recorded. If you have never listened to this song in surround sound, you are missing 50% of the recording.

R.I.P. David - nobody was cooler in the 80s. I recall David often sitting in with the band each and every week. What a great musician.

David Sanborn, Maceo Parker, and Cannonball Adderley are my heroes. Ever since I heard him in the 1980's I idolized David Sanborn. I know I was not the only one, either...when I was a band director, every kid wanted to play the alto sax. I once had a middle school band that had 18 alto sax players! You blessed our lives, David, deepest thanks to you forever!

Absolutely TIGHT and in the pocket ! Everyone getting amazing TONE - live and on TV ! They ALL nailed it ! I last saw the Double Vision Tour about 3 years ago . Pure heaven ! RIP Dave ! You will be missed .

What a blessing he gave to music lovers for so many years. David Sanborn music is just always there. I heard this sad announcement on Sirius xm today while driving and felt like Noooooo, he's too young. He's playing sweet music in a better place. It will be awhile for me before a tear doesn't happen when I here a cut by him, but I'm thankful I have so much of his music that he left us.

Sad news indeed, he was a late night staple back in the day. Thank you to Don "The Donz" Giller for all this Letterman archive footage!❤

Well, this is an example of the kind of watered down dance fusion that became popular in the late 80's. It's really not that complicated compared to the less mainstream fusion and contemporary Jazz Sanborn also played on. It is a nice unpretentious bit of I-IV based NYC funk, though.

@@GCKelloch Well, I am not a musician and have never made a record or played an instrument of any kind, but considering how many people enjoy it maybe it doesn't have to be elevated to some kind of cerebral complicated stew so that the elitist can do to music what they have done to the art world and pass off couch paintings as fine art.

back in the day 80s i always loved watching letterman especially when david sanborn was guest musician.

Omg, what a sad announcement. I saw this man every chance I got, he was without a doubt my favorite sax player. I remember the first time I saw him was in San Francisco at the Filmore where he first got his start. When he played Straight To The Heart, he got down on his knees and every woman in the audience got up off her feet. It was like that saxophone was talking to us. You rest easy now Mr Sanborn, your journey is complete. You will live on through your incredible music.

RIP Sanborn, one of my favorite musicians of all time

He was a true inspiration for many sax players. 😢

I first heard David Sanborn on the live David Bowie album, David Live! back in the 70s. That distinctive sound! RIP....

My favorite memory of David Sanborn is with the Worlds Most Dangerous Band. They performed "Memphis Soul Stew" on Late Night. An immense talent that is a great loss to the music world.

DS. thank you for the many Grooves you laid down for us to enjoy, and musicians to jam,,,,Nothing like playing with a Brass section....You are missed, loved and will NEVER be FORGOTTEN

Slap dat bass, Will Lee. RIP David Sanborn.

One of the best at his craft...RIP David. You will be missed.

What a great saxophonist. Whenever I see his name, I immediately think of the Lethal Weapon films...his work with Clapton was terrific and gave those films such a cool, unique vibe. RIP, my man.

I have always was amazed at the enormous talents David was blessed with. Rest in heavenly peace David . Thank you so much for

A very handsome guy too!...I guess he was married, to some French singer, who looked to be at least 20 years younger than he was. No kids?....hmmmmm.

The dream and chicago will forever take me to late nights in my childhood. On my bed looking down at the CD, with headsets plugged into a cd player, dreaming of playing like David one day. He was my childhood hero. Rest in peace.

Love David Sanborn, saw him live in Skokie IL 2013 or 14, was the soundtrack of my Navy enlistment. Rest in Power, David Sanborn..

Partly responsible for inspiring my switch from playing clarinet to saxophone in high school, though I played tenor rather than alto. He will be missed. May his memory be a blessing.

Seeing David Sanborn perform was on my list, and I finally did last August at the Keystone Korner-Baltimore. It was a wonderful evening from an artist making great music at 78.

RIP David Sanborn. A Change of Heart was the first album I got, timeless!

Iconic saxophonist. His style and sound was so distinctive. Whenever I would hear a new Sanborn tune that I’d never heard before on the radio, I immediately knew who it was playing. His sound was so unique that it was like a different language.

Such a distinct and unforgettable musical voice. ❤ He leaves a huge legacy.

They say to never meet your idol. Well, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting him and it was a memory I’ll treasure ‘till my day comes. He was such a gentleman, and while I’ll never be the player he was, seemed genuinely interested in me. RIP, David.

Ahh David...I was only able to see you once live. And you were GREAT!!! Thank you!

What a band, these were the days - RIP David Sanborn 🙏

Great person and musician. He will be missed. Thanks Dave!

This shocked me, and it hurts. I saw him many times. My whole family loved him. Such good memories, happy music and happy times.

May David Sanborn rest in eternal love and peace.

RIP David Sanborn, and long live David Letterman!

Sad news. You will be missed Brother. He'll be my playlist this week. R.I.P.

Wow- just learned of his passing. Sorry he's gone, such a phenomenal musician. Condolences to all family and friends. RIP. 💐

He was part of my soundtrack to life loved in the 90s. Great memories.

Night music on Sundays was the best…..I never missed it. R.I.P. DAVID

The late great David Sanborn was a staple on the jazz music scene when I was growing up. I remember listening to WJZZ back home and hearing "Chicago Song" or "It's You" playing almost daily & being carried away by the melody. He just had a way of communicating through that saxophone. He is still a major influence in my love for Jazz. We lost a giant... but his music will play on. Rest in Peace Mr. Sanborn.

Definitely my favorite saxophone player, had his music in the early 80's and have more of his music than any other group or bands in my collection.

Thanks for posting this throwback guys, in remembrance of, and as a tribute, to David Sanborn. Love the way the whole band, above, is so fired up and playing in sync. Rest in Peace, David. Regards, Michael M. Kamau, Nairobi, Kenya, East Africa, 14th May 2024.

Rest In Paradise dear David Sanborn, and thank you 💕😢🌷💕🎶🎶🎶

Thanks for the tribute Dave! You guys had a lot of fun!! 💕💕

One of the absolute all-time greats. David was, in essence, the "5th Beatle" of the World's Most Dangerous Band. Plus, all the music for the Late Late Show!

Sanborn's soloes on Bowie's Young Americans album alone are for the ages.

I randomly picked up an album, back in 1975, that featured a collaboration between a guitarist named Joe Beck, and David Sanborn. It is not that mentioned, yet every person I loaned my recorded CD to, was just staggered by how smooth and tasty that album was!..Joe Beck died quite a few years ago, from lung cancer-heavy smoker, the usual deal. The entire album is strictly instrumental, and is such a fine effort of what many call "soft-jazz...but it ain't just that!

I'm so glad and grateful I saw David, Bob James and Marcus Miller in Dayton a few years ago. I will cherish that concert forever. RIP my King of Kings on a sax.

Have both of those albums. Always love to hear his work! You will be missed!

Very nice man... He gave me his autograph on 53rd Street outside of the Ed Sullivan Theater right after taping the Late Show with David Letterman back in the 90's... I was listening to "It's You" from "Double Vision" on Hi-Res Tidal on the 12th, not knowing he passed away... Condolences to his family... RIP David William Sanborn 😢

RIP! Great player with heart and soul. He will be greatly missed but his music will live on. Unmistakable sound! ♥♥♥♥

Sanborn . Tone , Melody ,Genius .

Rest in Peace David Sanborn and thank you for your music ❤❤❤

What I always loved about Dave is that you knew who he loved and who he didn’t care for. David Sanborn was one of Letterman’s loves.

He played at the North Sea Jazz festival in The Hague and it was FANTASTIC ! RIP David.

David’s radio & tv shows were special because he had guest artists playing outside of their normal routine. Peace & Love

I always think of David when hearing his searing intro to Bowies’ “Young Americans”.

What a legend.. what a legacy, what an inspiration!! 🙏🏼❤️✨

Smooth David Sandborn was a fabulous Sax Player. Produced amazing music.

This man is the reason i started playing alto saxophone 14 years ago, my birthday was May 11th and my sax hero died May 12th RIP Mr David Alto sax Sanborn

RIP Great Sax player. Would always listen to him while on guard duty.

I was supposed to see David Sanborn in concert today In Virginia today.i am sorry he pass away. I will miss him he was a great saxophone player May his soul rest in peace.

I got to see David Sanborn in concert when this album came out. Just David & his band, no other act. It was Fantastic 🎷RIP David ❤💫

He epitomized Smooth Jazz. Wonderful collaborations with many artists. Bumper music for countless radio and TV pieces. Look up episodes of Night Music - he brought us classic jazz. RIP.

Incredibly Gifted Musician R.I.P Mr.Sanborn

Great musician! Unique sound of saxophone. RIP. He was also a good part of “Letterman Folklore “ during Late Night era. And thanks for the homage!

Toutes mes idôles partent, les unes après les autres : tristesse profonde et gratitude. Merci Monsieur Sanborn.

David did not only play the saxophone, he actually energized it Never a man played like him May His Soul Rest In Eternal Peace

Thank you for this straight-to-the-heart tribute, Letterman! Loved David Sanborn so much. Also, Thank YOU for your respectful way of showcasing musical talent as a regular *feature* of your show, not like today, where the late night trend is to only allow snippets coming or going to commercial break!

I saw him 3-4x in concert, each time better than the last. My favorite sax player since Charlie Parker. Sad to learn of his passing, but he leaves a big catalog of CDs for us to listen to.

David Sanborn had a very distinctive sound. RIP.

Thank you for the memories, RIP

All time GOAT❤❤ REST IN PEACE

David’s music inspired and motivated me …. RIP Sir… you made this world a better place.

Can't believe he's gone. I first discovered him on the Lethal Weapon soundtrack. First Michael Kamen, now David... only Clapton's left. R.I.P to one of the greatest.

Thanks for "Chicago Song" live! RIP David Sanborn. Always playing live, forever.

David Sanborn defined the sound of the modern Alto Saxophone... Rest in Perfect Harmony. Your music and soull are forever !

RIP. Thanks for the music.

I saw him live on stage at "The Schlachhof Bremen" together with Rickie Peterson and a nonetett of french musicians. Absolutely amazing concert, i will never forget. RIP David we will miss your play

So sorry to hear of his passing! I still have this CD, and several others. Saw him in concert in this tour, fabulous show. Hope he’s jamming with the other greats somewhere!

RIP David Sanborn one of the greatest.
