Album Review

David Sanborn is joined on this CD by an orchestra arranged by Johnny Mandel for a set of music dominated by melodic versions of standards. Sanborn does not get all that far away from the themes (which include "Try a Little Tenderness," "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," "For All We Know," "This Masquerade" and a very emotional "Everything Must Change" in addition to a few newer songs) but his sound is so soulful and full of passion that he does not really need to improvise much to make his point. It's a fine change of pace for the highly influential altoist. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide

Wonderfully mellow music. I really have enjoyed how David Sanborn plays the sax on this cd. He also does a few old classics and does them well, in my opinion. Light the fireplace and candles and pop this cd in the player. ;-)
Enjoy!
