From the 1989 syndicated television program, Night Music, Willow Weep for Me. David Sanborn and Phil Woods, two of our greatest alto saxophonists. #davidsanborn #philwoods
When I was 3, retrospectively, I accidently discovered this show being syndicated on NBC on a stormy night thinking this was the usual SNL music guest appearance. Little did I know, this was also a Lorne Michaels production solely bringing home the heavy titans of Jazz which is still the only program in American Television history to showcase this until its mainstream popularity died until the end of 1992. Still amazes me after 35 years, there are NO known release for this amazing program in High Definition. Rest in Peace, David. Your legacy will continue to aspire through generations. 🎷
@@JazzVideoGuy yup. 3. Because our local NBC stopped syndicating it by 1992 at our local station in South Florida. Significantly where we survivors of Hurricane Andrew and were glued to the television of the major damage it brought our small town and there he was David Sanborn and his fellow guest stars. Also, Batman TAS premiered on primetime that same week.
So great! Thanks for reacquainting us with this wonderful moment, Bret. And how about all the quotes at the end - It Might as Well Be Spring, There’s A Boat That’s Leaving Soon for New York, I Feel Pretty…
The first time I heard David Sanborn was on Joe Beck's album "Beck" (1975) on the song "Starfire". He blew me away. I had never heard anyone play with such a flare. He was like Hendrix on sax. It's a great album featuring David Sanborn. We lost a wonderfully gifted musician. RIP David.
How about that band? Omar Hakim, Hiram Bullock, Philippe Saisse, Don Alias, Tom Barney. The look on Hiram's face when Phil closes out... we miss music shows like this one.
