The music on this recording was inspired by the book Rayuela, by the Argentine writer Julio Cortázar. This masterpiece has long provided me with an immense amount of inspiration and ideas, forging a possibility for what art could be: a medium of boundless freedom, both for the creator and for the audience. The narrative in Rayuela takes place both in Paris and Buenos Aires, and it was indeed this “”French-Latin American”” connection that ignited the idea for a collaboration between Laurent and myself. We have become close friends through the years but had never had the chance to collaborate on a musical project before (aside from the casual performance here and there). Working on Rayuela seemed like the perfect opportunity. Continue reading →

Amazon.com, David Sanborn, Rhino Records, Saxophone

The signature hook by the legendary alto-saxophonist David Sanborn has positioned him to be a pillar in the jazz community. I understand, some may dispute this, nonetheless he’s undeniably one of the most prominent voices in today’s music. If you dig contemporary jazz, than this two disc collection of music is well-worth the cash for those of you who may not have these hand-picked songs by Sanborn for this project. –Rob Young | Urban Flux Media

David Sanborn, Then Again .The David Sanborn Anthology

David Sanborn -][- Then Again: The David Sanborn Anthology –Mp3– [Rhino Records, 2012] –

Then Again: The David Sanborn Anthology is the first comprehensive two-disc collection spaning 25 years of David’s career at both Warner Bros. and Elektra Records.

David has been very involved in the release and handpicked the songs himself. Liner notes by US author/ journalist David Ritz.
