Hello all! How are you all doing today? Has anyone heard of saxophonist David Sanborn? David is one of my all-time favorite artists – his sax skills are amazing! It’s been 3 long years since he’s put out an album, but his new one is coming out August 12th, which I absolutely cannot wait for! If you haven’t heard of him, check him out and let me know what you think! http://www.myspace.com/davidsanbornband.
Im pretty sure that every saxophone player has heard of david sanborn, seeing as he has been around for awhile. I would not recommend imitating david sanborn unless you are listening to his straight ahead jazz songs, which he hasn't put any of those on cd's. Im guessing you are a younger player, as you get older you will find much better saxophone players to imitate.
Sanborn is pretty good, however my favorite Jazz saxophonists are Michael Brecker and Joe Henderson. Try listening to some of their stuff. If you're interested in classical saxophone, try listening to Marcel Mule and heck, even some Sigurd Rascher, although Rascher has too much of a dark sound for my taste, but yeah, try listening to some others.
