Out of the Main

E23.37: “Where Were They Then,” David Sanborn

Listen Later

Another installment of “Where Were They Then,” Out of the Main’s answer to Where are they now? 

A “special” guest co-host joins the podcast to help us examine the post-yacht-rock career and catalogue of David Sanborn, one of session-dom’s finest! How did he fare as a featured solo act? Just fine, thank you!

  • What was the “heyday?”
  • Marcus Miller, the partner in crime
  • Was Sanborn a product — or the genesis — of a social awakening to “sexy sax?”
  • Who are the yachty cats that came along for the ride?
  • Why Sanborn ISN’T the Godfather of Smooth Jazz


    • PLUS, don’t miss the intro/outro music featuring Listener Mike himself on sax!
