CABARET TONIGHT IN NYC: DAVID SANBORN AT THE BLUE NOTE
Renowned and revered the world over as one of the greatest saxophone players of all time, David Sanborn will be performing at THE BLUE NOTE (131 West 3rd Street, NYC - 212-475-8592) on Tuesday through Sunday, November 3rd through 8th with shows at 8:00 & 10:30 pm. He is joined on stage by Ricky Peterson, keys; Richard Patterson, bass; Gene Lake, drums; and Nicky Moroch, guitar. Sanborn is an artist whose music has inspired countless other musicians. A naturally gifted performer whose body of work spans rock 'n' roll, R&B, pop, and jazz, he has helped define the saxophone's modern sound while influencing a generation. Born in 1945 in Tampa, Florida, Sanborn contracted polio when he was only three years old. As a part of his rehabilitation therapy, he was introduced to the saxophone - an introduction with consequences beyond the imagination of his parents, doctors, or anyone else. Sanborn studied music for a year at Northwestern University before transferring to the University of Iowa. By 20, he was married and the proud father of a son named Jonathan, to whom each of Sanborn's records have been dedicated. The early years of his career saw him take the stage at Woodstock with the Butterfield Blues Band and tour with legends like Stevie Wonder, The Rolling Stones, and David Bowie. In 1975, Sanborn released his first solo album, Taking Off. While he continued working with other performers like Paul Simon and James Taylor in the coming years, he also began flexing his considerable muscles as a solo artist, eventually scoring massive popular hits with Hideaway (1980), the Grammy-winning Voyeur (1981), and Backstreet (1983), the last of which proved to be a major hit in the world of contemporary jazz. He won his second of six career Grammy Awards in 1986 for Double Vision (with Bob James), and in the late '80s he hosted the classic television program Night Music. There is a $30-$50 cover.
