Dave Sanborn & Phil Collins Big Band - In the Air Tonight

[PJMPercussion]

GREAT ARRANGEMENT ! - I'll spare you my credentials but suffice it to say that NOT EVERYBODY HAS TO LIKE ALL THINGS.....I think PHIL COLLINS is BRILLIANT and so is SANBORN ! Does this arrangement have the same excitement as the original? NO. B U T it has its' own excitement. WHY ? - - It's a different arrangement. This is what we musicians do sometimes......we enjoy challenging ourselves with new things, styles, instrumentation. Does it really matter that we all know each others' opinion ?

Sanborn!

fantastic always brother david

[TBlake34]

All fans of jazz go through an elitist stage. It's necessary to learn the music. There's so much there that everything seems empty by comparison.

If you're speaking ill of Sandborn you're still stuck in that phase. Nobody does what Sandborn does better. He's not dealing with complex harmonies and rhythms like Wayne Shorter, but who cares? We can just listen to Wayne Shorter.

Enjoy Sandborn for the outstanding musician he is. There's much to learn from him.

@TBlake34 *Sanborn

[isildrum]

want the entire video!!!!!!!!!!!! where can I get it?

[mohomoho1]

I'll be 50 years young in less than a year and I will never resort to listening to this.I was a big fan of Collins when he played in Brand X.This is sappy!!!!!

[BENJ1969]

@mohomoho1 Sappy? As opposed to Phil Collins' riveting Disney soundtrack masterpieces? This isn't supposed to be the same "earthshaking" electronic drums drenched rendition of the original, if you wanna get technical about what exactly can be referred to as sappy. And despite my tongue in cheek comments on Collins original, I do love it, and this cover of the classic tune. Collins' original cut was never my favorite single of his (the rest of "Face Value" blows it away!). I like this 1 better.

[osceola64]

David Sanborn is completely capable of playing whatever style of music he wishes. He is a University of Iowa graduate and performed in the jazz groups there during his undergraduate years. Perhaps it's time to quit rationalizing "Your" take on other people's music and just dig it. I may suggest reading Aaron Copland's book, "How To Listen To Music" and keep comments to the 3rd plane of listening. This will keep petty arguments off of nice posts like this. Enjoy the music folks. Nice job D!

oh lord!

[CY10111970]

Great, really great.

[bejerama]

What year was this?

[lavendermo28]

love this track  ... love quincey what ever he does

[aieks1]

ваше бютифол...это херня ..филл это сила и музыка

[drawlbag]

Beautiul arrangement, but I would've prefered vocals instead of sax. I thought all saxamephones were destroyed in 1990!! Reminds me of Frank. (Zappa)

[chateauflood]

The Collins Big Band Album, "Hot Night in Paris", doesn't have this track; shame. I think this is the best thing he ever did with his big band. I can only assume that it was a performing rights issue. My genuine thanks to LeoShepard for posting this rare gem.

[ErsatzWino]

A friend of mine had the track on *some* CD and gave it to me, so whether it was commercially released or not, it was definitely given the same kind of quality audio recording the rest of the concert got. It's out there if you look around.

[LuigiRianeri]

I heard that song already better

[emercito]

From 1:07 to 1:30 is the momment that i like so much. Best Phill's performer

[yanitzen]

eres grande phil no hay compracion

[bejerama]

Quincy Jones is the man

[gustosax66]

Gerald albright plays it his style.

I think both are nice. It shows the different

playing methods of two awesome musicians.

i Have both under my fav'ss :)

awesome.....

[drummer070708]

sorry, I like the version of gerald albright better, check him out , there is a nice version on youtube

[Truelight0]

Two different players 1 technique + 1 soulful = good musicianship....

[Parizanama]

uf uf exellent!!!!

[johnny698charles]

Listen Pearlyilove you, when sanborn plays the way he does, it raises the level of the band with the remarkable harmony he uses, with the high C i beleive being played repeatedly. He " inspires the bad" and they are "playing" off his feed back. So please, know what your talking about before insulting a legend..

[Truelight0]

Amen Johnny

[thewendigo]

in Eb, it's a D.

[OnTheRoof1]

Nathan east.

[kaojing1]

For those who is in doubt with Sanborn 's work.

Try to find " A concerto with Sax" by The late Michael Kamen...

You'll know that the man has done it all.

[ErsatzWino]

I'm with you.

[ErsatzWino]

Actually, over time I've come to re-evaluate my opinion here. I found an mp3 of this performance, and when the visual is taken away and I just listen to the music, it sounds perfect. The last three minutes are especially amazing.

[saxshooter]

guess phil has been listening to a lot of gil evans when sanborn used to play... :)

[BigBoiJC]

Luis Conte, great percussionist!

[Troidongxula]

Thats what made him so famous. slide in and out, hit the climax when you least expected it. Love the bas as well

[dylek123]

where could i get it in mp3 ?? :) Please help me.

[H3A7]

Nathan East on Bass!

[WouterJ]

And Daryl Steurmer on guitar, Collins played it safe here.

[happylarry08]

That was real chill out stuuf. I liked it - would have loved to have seen it live

[goldeneye00756]

This is interesting, but I gotta say I like the video with Gerald Albright doing this arrangement much better. I was REALLY psyched to hear Sanborn doing it but it's like he's not even hearing the band behind him; he's totally missing the groove and never really fits into it...he's always somewhere outside of it, and not in an artful way.

[ausley1987]

Are you serious? Albright's tone is no where as affective as Sanborn's, this version is clearly better. As for him not fitting in, listen more carefully, clearly nails this...in a very artful way. Albright is a more RnB player and works better in Against All Odds where as this is perfect for Sanborn's sound.

[NaZirCon]

This is just an ignorant statement, goldeneye00756. Gerald Albright and Sanborn are rather different schools of playing. And this is a typical Sanborn's kind of playing. Very tasteful and laid-back. That's the way the guy plays.

[jalabi99]

I wish he had put this on his PEARLS album; it really would have shaken that up.

Sanborn's playing is masterful, as always. Great stuff. Phil Collins is smiling all the way to the bank because of this one :)

[ceetee21]

@goldeneye00756 You nailed it. Albright is much better player than Sanborn. Gerald can play straight ahead jazz as well as r&b. Sanborn does not play straight ahead nor has he ever

[magichristo]

@ceetee21 You are such an idiot. You can't just say one is a better player than another, just because you don't like the way he plays straight ahead. That can be a good thing or a bad thing. Even IF Sanborn couldn't play as good straight ahead as Gerald, that would mean he was more IN his style. In other words, usually play much better in that style.

And you can't even compare the two. They are so much different... You, sir, are an idiot.

[ceetee21]

@magichristo You don't have to agree with me.That's okay! But may I say to you watch who you are calling an idiot it's just a discussion on David Sanborn's ability to play Jazz.

Be a man and use better choice of words. You don't know me and I'm sure if we were face to face you would be much more respectful.

[magichristo]

@ceetee21 No. I'm sorry, but you clearly claimed that Gerald was a "much better player than Sanborn". In general. Only an idiot who knows not much about music would say something like that. So don't talk about something you don't know anything about.

You can't just claim your opinions as facts.

[ceetee21]

@magichristo We can agree to disagree respectively.My knowledge of music is extensive particularly when comes to jazz. So I'm no idiot!!!..

My reference to David Sanborn was strictly about Jazz. Mr. Sanborn has never recorded a straight ahead cd. Do the research.His music is coll it's just not jazz.

[jalabi99]

@ceetee21 I disagree. ANOTHER HAND (1991) and his more recent HERE AND GONE are both straight-ahead jazz albums by David Sanborn. The JazzTimes article "David Sanborn: The Blues and the Abstract Truth" (2008) agrees with me on this.

[ceetee21]

@jalabi99 I have about 20 or 22 cd's of David Sanborn in my jazz collection of over 5,000 jazz cd's. Doing only 2 straight ahead jazz records in a span of over 36 years of recording your own music while not put in the circle of the the straight ahead players. The majority of his records are mostly nice pop and r&b instrumentals. Go back listen to them. Starting back in 1975.

[benjibetanzo]

Great! don't you have the west side from this jazz festival?

[juance24tap]

fantastic!!!!!!
