It's not hyperbole to say that this is Sanborn's best record since his Warner Brothers heyday of the '80s. The same can be said of the quality of the musicians gathered for the alto saxophonist's first album for Verve. The material may be the best he's ever assembled, with many cover tunes that are singularly identified with other artists, yet he redefines them. None of those words are meant to disparage those Grammy-winning gold albums of yore, it just his high standards have been magnified many fold on these 10 tracks. From the absolutely smoke-any-kind-of groove all-star band featuring a wailing Russell Malone on guitar, Christian McBride on bass, Mike Mainieri from Steps Ahead on vibes, and Sanborn's longtime keyboard player, Ricky Peterson, to the sterling arrangements of re-imaged classics, including Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" done as a ballad and the timeless "Harlem Nocturne" spiced with world music overtones, this record sparkles. "Comin' Home Baby" and "Christo Redentor," songs made famous in the '60s by Herbie Mann and Donald Byrd respectively, are interpreted with such passion and fire, it's as if the melodies have belonged to Sanborn the whole time. His exquisite alto tone shines throughout the proceedings, and Malone just shows off on "Sugar," and one of three Sanborn originals, "Spider B."
David Sanborn可以说是近二十年来其中一个最成功将Soul Jazz推广到群众的爵士色士风手。
早在1970年代，他已经开始替爵士乐手如Jaco Pastorius、Gil Evans和流行乐手如David Bowie、The Eagles伴奏。到1980年代，他已经确立了在Soul Jazz的举足轻重的地位，前后灌录了17只唱片，获得1只白金及6金唱片，并6次夺得Grammy Award。他的音乐充满了城市感，无论听他的火辣辣、浓情抑或忧怨的吹奏，都不会有过时的感觉。所以，对于一些入门的爵士乐迷，David Sanborn的最新专辑绝对是一个安全的选择。
