I first heard this on vinyl thirty years ago as a college freshman, and it's part of my life's soundtrack. I totally agree with the review from 'a music fan.' "Sophisticated Squaw" alone is worth the purchase. Also, "Smile" is some of the most bluesy, jazzy, romantic sax I've ever heard... If you don't like anything else on the album except those two pieces, you'll still be well ahead by owning it (although you will love the rest of the it)! That is, if you can find it.

Years ago I was playing this at work and a co-worker asked me who that was. I told him David Sanborn. He said, "The boy playing his heart out ain't he?" That really sums it up. My sister and I played Smile totally out. To this day for many reasons that song is still my favorite Sanborn.

Every time I hear Concrete Boogie, it still feels like the first time. The superb musicianship on this early Sanborn is extraordinary. I used to go see Mark Russo cover this song in any excellent early band of his: Omega Rhythm Section, in the Bay Area, California in the early 80's. Been a huge Sanborn fan ever since!

I have loved this cd (album first) for 34 years. The quality of the CD was exactly as stated, very good condition. There was also a personal note from the seller telling me to enjoy. I would definitely purchase from this seller again.

Sophiticated squaw still (20 years later) has to be my all-time favorite. There's just something about this song that makes me move!!!! Through the years we've had so many good jazz releases but this still captures my soul.........
