I hope he’s playing for my father up in the sky who also recently passed at the age of 91. This gives me some much needed comfort knowing he’ll be listening to some good music up there.

RIP to both great men.

He was indeed an icon. iI oved your Mount Rushmore quote about him–so true. He was a treasure and we know that he will be missed by so many! I’m very grateful for his musical legacy. “Anything You Want,” his four-disc anthology (with wonderful liner notes by music historian and journalist A. Scott Galloway) is required heartwarming listening. The word “heart” was infused in both his album titles and songs on so many occasions, and it’s understandable why–his saxophone’s wai and cry and jubilance spoke directly to the heart. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us, Mr. Sanborn. Our lives are richer because of them. Blessings to the David Sanborn family always! Thank you, Mr. Hildebrand for your fine tribute. Blessings to you and all.
