I was intially motivated to purchase this David Sanborn classic due to the Detroit area local jazz station regular play of Sanborn's cd "Songs from the night before" song "Rikky". That is a very relaxing,senual and sexy song piece, so I became compelled to purchase the entire cd. I was not disappointed. I have been an avid listerner to David Sanborn since his collaboration cd with Bob James '1986 cd "Double Vison". Double vision is a true classic that really open up the entire diminsion of Jazz music for me and at the time I was only 14 years old. Now my interest in Jazz has increased tremendously and I would absolutely love, love to see Sanborn in concert!!!! I beleive it would be an great experience. I truly percieve David Sanborn as a "legend".....

THIS ONE'S A KEEPER especially if you like good old funky blues, (and I do), this album will get you movin'. It's rare to buy a CD and like all the selections but on this one I do.
Track 3 "RIKKI" is soulfully beautiful for just blissful
listening.
Track 4 This was a big hit for the late, great Eddy Harris
and if you have the guts to follow Harris's sax on
"LISTEN HERE" you just better be David Sanborn.
And then of course there's Track 5 "SPOOKY" and it just doesn't get any better than that. It's classic R&B Sanborn.
Track 6 "MISSING YOU" Once again we slow the tempo for an incredible blues. He pours his soul into this rendition and again demonstrates his amazing command of the alto sax. I can get lost in this one.

I do think my favorite is the final track "SOUTHERN EXPOSURE". It has that "get down" funky feel that Sanborn does so well and nobody else can match---guaranteed to get you up and goin'!

Four final words of wisdom BUY IT AND ENJOY!

David once again takes jazz to another level. This CD will take you out of the world you are in and to ecstasy. This entire CD is so great that I had to play it over and over. Sit back, relax, and get ready for a great experience with David.
