The saxophone melodies color the urban night.
David Sanborn's sophisticated instrumental album seamlessly bridges the gap between fusion and R&B.
Under Marcus Miller's production, his soulful saxophone playing has gained a more urban sound. The powerful yet sentimental melody lines he showcases in "Backstreet" have had a profound influence on modern saxophone playing.
