Details: Amazon.ca It's rare that saxophonist David Sanborn gets a notion to do something more adventurous than sitting in with the Letterman show's band. As a king of the smooth-jazz world, why should he? Inside, however, does take a couple of chances, though nothing on the order of 1991's Another Hand. Cassandra Wilson sits in for a dry reading of Aretha's "Day Dreaming" that suggests she's best in slightly more daring company; this take doesn't improve on either the original or on Mary J. Blige's recent cover. (For a revelatory Wilson cameo, check out her version of Muddy Waters's "Country Girl" on Javon Jackson's A Look Within.) Likewise, Sting ("Ain't No Sunshine") and perennial nonentities Lalah Hathaway and Eric Benet ("When I 'm with You") bring little to their guest-vocal turns. As for the seven instrumental cuts, Sanborn and producer Marcus Miller rarely rise above midtempo mush. --Rickey Wright Product Description With his weekly music segment on Good Morning America, regular guest spots on David Letterman, a syndicated radio show and a TV series (Night Music) to his credit, 5-time Grammy-winner David Sanborn consistently receives the kind of massive exposure most jazz artists can only dream of. On his new album, David continues in the tradition of the R&B/jazz smashes that took him to the top, joined by guest vocalists D'Angelo, Eric Clapton, Sting, Cassandra Wilson and others.
