LIGHT JAZZ

More of Sanborn’s easy going, pop and R&B-inflected jazz. Besides Sanborn on alto sax, instrumentation includes guitars, keys, horns, bass & drums (as listed in insert). Add male vocals (Tower of Power’s Larry Briggs) on #4 and female vocals (Randy Crawford) on #7.

No FCC issues.

1 * Mid-fast. Lively, with a danceable Latin rhythm. Sax, elec piano, lots of perc. (5:22)
2 Mid-slow. Mellow ballad with sax, organ, drums. (5:14)
3 Slow. Sax, elec piano, elec bass, slow rim taps. Sleepy. (4:37)
4 ** Mid-tempo. Powerful, soulful cover of ’69 Temptations hit. Strong male vocals. (4:35)
5 Mid-slow. Gentle background music. Sax, elec piano, drums. (4:45)
6 Mid-fast. Easy listening pop-jazz. Sax, elec piano, drums. (5:51)
7 Mid-tempo. M Legrand’s inexplicable hit. Good female vocals on a dreadful song. (4:58)
8 * Mid-fast. Lively with a funky groove. Sax, elec piano, trumpet, drums. (4:20)
9 Slow. Cover of an old movie theme. Just sax and a heavy handed elec piano. (2:27)
