David Sanborn on sax, Marcus Miller on bass, Mike Mainieri on vibes, Neil Larsen on keyboard, Robben Ford on guitar, Ricky Lawson on drums, and the percussion of Lenny Castro.
@@ilanjusth8989you just have to come up with negativity comparing artists who have different styles, Dean Brown played with them both , the Breckers and Dave and never said anything like you did.. grow up.. don’t be a music snob..
@@ilanjusth8989 Nothing to be sorry about. You just claimed your spot as a bonafide dumbass by comparing two such artists and different stylists that are not comparable to begin with. No pro musician I know (and I know quite a few in 50 years being a pro musician) would go out into the middle of the road like you just did and pull their pants down to expose themselves as a total jerk. Allow BOTH of these two unique souls and expressors of music to rest in peace....... and while you are at it leave the rest of us alone.
David Sanborn always lit up the room as a sax player, and I can’t help but admit how much this hurts. I can’t play the saxophone to save my life, but we will all miss David Sanborn, especially me.
this was before youtube in 1981 i never thought i,d ever see this concert it was a special night with al jarreau & randy crawford singing duets together
I was there in 1981 as a drummer with a college group. This night was amazing. I happened to stumble onto Sanborn, Robin Ford and the Yellow Jackets while they were rehearsing and laying down tracks at a studio the night before. I had just finished a trio gig and heard this amazing sound coming from an open door, A couple of guys invited me and the bass player to come in and check it out. It was a total groove session. Unbelieveable.
I agree, seeing these guys perform in person, was WAY BEYOND what you can get from a recording. Unbelievable SOUND SYSTEM controlled by recording studio professionals, sounded like a sound stage u will never hear in your lifetime.
Ahhhh!!! The 80"s. When the funky alto sax players were Grover Washington Jr, Tom Scott and this man here. And on this video, David is clicking on all cylinders. As is everyone else in this band. Smoking stuff.
David Sanborn was the top flite musician on sax! His unique raw/raunchy yet totally under control style has been the number 1 sound and belonged to him alone! It wasn't till Kirk Whalum came onto the scene that that same basic style had a rebirth!!!! Robben is just super!!! ~ FORD ~ ............... HAS A BETTER IDEA~!~
David "Sainthorn" Sanborn @1:08 David blows his straw dry. It's the sound of what's about to happen. David Sanborn, Man with a horn, So glad he was born. Yesterday he died, Today I mourn.
RIP David Sanborn. Un son unique et très très très travaillé. Il a inspiré tant de jeune et de moins jeunes saxophonistes qui voulaient avoir son son en étudiant le sax. Pour le reste les gammes etc cac plaît ou ça plaît pas. Mais le son c’était son rayon…le choix des hanches ,leur entretien etc,,,les suraiguës aussi …un grand merci !
Absolutely smokin'. Funky, funky, funky. Absolutely horrifying. What a band! And as always, Mr. Sandborn lets 'em play. Hard to believe this was 38 tears ago!
40 years+ THANKS DAVID! Always enjoyed seeing you perform, meeting you backstage, so much fun. U were always really cool to me, and I know your band enjoyed touring with you so much.
I was there, I was 20 at that time. Marcus Miller was this young amazing musician that everybody was talking about at Montreux that year.. I remember that he played also with Al Jarreau and Randy Crawford. Amazing time..
Funk Maestro's! This is truly the Shit! A hidden Gem from the Wonderful World of Jazz, This Star Studded Line Up! 40 years ago Lets take a trip down Memory lane, 19 yr old Bass Phenomenon, Marcus Miller emerges from Lenny White's Band & redefines the Bass & becomes the most selected & sought after Bass player on the Planet throughout the 1980's, Early on He cohesively teamed up with the Great David Sanborn, Together they transformed & gelled a string of huge & successful LP's, Robben Ford, Guitar extraordinaire, Fresh off of his successful solo Album, The Inside Story, Where Ford met & collaborated with drummer Ricky Lawson & Keyboard Wiz Russell Ferrante & The Yellow Jackets Band were Born, Michael Maineri Vibraphone Extraordinaire, fresh off his highly successful Wanderlust LP could play with the best of em, 58th st NY City Funk, Michael Brecker, Peter Esrkine & can't forget Keyboardist Neil Larson riding high off his successful High Gear Album, Unfortunately, They don't play Music like this any more! One doesn't appreciate great Music like this until it's Gone..........
I use to go watch David Sanborn in Concert at “Humphries on Bay” in America’s Finest City. “San Diego California”. He does make a visit there once in still with the Guys. They like playing there because the venue is on the water and seats about 3,500 people.... Never get tired of David Sanborn
Robben Ford has always been one of my favorite guys-right around the 5:38 mark he totally starts going for it, just beyond what he's capable of. The whole band slays-so glad I found this clip!
given away some age now but from 70 to74 dave neil larsen buzz feiten tom dawes fred beckmeir and myself had a kick ass band in woodstock in between other gigs. WOW nothin like remembering those wild times and where all still kickin, R,I,P,. tom dawes.those where the days.
Robben's guitar sound has changed through the years - however, he always had and still has THE sound that other guitar players can only dream of. Which proves that his sound is in his fingers and in his head.
@@davidseriff711 Jim Tyler was hot-rodding strats for some big-name players by '81, and I think I remember having seen Robben Ford on the roster. Looks like 1vol/1tone + on/off switches for each pickup. It's a Fender neck, but the jack plate is top-mount, which I don't think was typical of Jim's mods. Who knows?
