David Sanborn …

I know, I know, after a revival in the 80ies, sax playing became all of the sudden uncool again, something best left to lounge music and 80ies porn flick muzak. No matter, I continue to like it, blow your alluring horn up there, David!

But how could they not mention Nena? He plays the magnificent sax solo at the end of '?' (the song was indeed called question mark or Fragezeichen in German) although the guy miming is of course not David.



He's on here as well (no, not the hottie with the jet black pixie cut at 02:04, but he played it!):



Yeah, porn sax alright, but I STILL LIKE IT !!!

Sax playing is always cool and he was a master in any genre.

The clip of Jo-El Sonnier and Richard Thompson I posted when Jo-El passed was from his Night Music show.

RIP, sir.

Sad. Great player. Loved his Night Music show in the 90s. I have VHS tapes of probably all of them.

Not that I see a lot of Jazz artists, but I did actually get to see him at Seattle's Jazz Alley 7-8 years back, it was a really nice evening of music.

I hope he's blowing 'em all in heaven.

   I loved his work on Ian Hunter's All American Alien Boy album.
