人人有本用

David Sanborn是推广Soul Jazz的爵士色士风手。
《Time Again》成功融合：R&B、Soul Jazz、Pop、Rock。他的《Hideaway》(1979)是一张重R&B的作品，到《As We Speak》(1981)，他开始走Funk的方向，逐步向Soul Jazz，并在《Upfront》(1992)加入Hip-Hop和在《Pearls》(1995)加入Orchestra的演奏。到了《Time Again》，David Sanborn解释：“I came up with the title Time Again because much of this album is re-examining things from my past.”
　57岁David Sanborn曾经说过：“I think emotion is the cornerstone of everything I've done. I think good music, any style of music, reaches people in a direct heartfelt way.”所以，他从来不会将爵士看成高深莫测的音乐。这次，他亦重新演译了一些流行曲—Joni Mitchell的Man from Mars和Steve Wonder的Isn't She lovely将groove的感觉带入流行曲。其实早在《As We Speak》(1981)专辑内的Love Will Come Someday，他已经找到了Michael Sembello主唱这首结合Jazz和Pop的情歌。
　　这份“要感动听众”的坚持，正好反映他深受Soul Jazz色士风手Hank Crawford和Gene Ammons的影响。这次，他吹奏了另一位Soul Jazz色士风手Stanley Turrentine的Sugar。那一份浓情蜜意，真是浓得化不开，而Russell Malone的独奏彷佛画出一对恋人在街角中追逐的片段。
