Motus Mentis

I note with deep sadness the death of saxophonist David Sanborn, who died on Sunday at the age of 78. I’d known Dave for decades, and worked with him often (including having engineered much of his Grammy-winning 1999 album Inside).

David was a towering musician — one of the most influential players of his era — and a smart, funny man. I can’t believe he’s gone. (It’s also hard to believe he was already seventy-eight. How did we all get so old?)

My dear friend Steve Khan has written an eloquent tribute, here.

Rest in peace, Dave. You were a gift to this world, and you will be missed.
