Daydreaming (David Sanborn) (LP 2382)

David Sanborn   Inside (CD, Elektra Records, 1999) *** 

GenreJazz 

Places I remember: Shona Walding collection

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Miss You

Gear costume: Lisa

Active compensatory factors: This is a strange one as it aims to do a Winelight (Grover Washington's cross over jazz-pop album). In this case Sting pops up incongruously to sing Bill Wither's hit, Ain't No Sunshine.

There are vocal tracks elsewhere on the album. Interestingly, in 2000, the album won Sanborn the Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Performance.

It certainly sounds good 24 years later but it's still modern jazz of a commercial bent - tastefully done, but not a lot of depth.

Where do they all belong? Next up in jazz - George Shearing's Walkin'.
