Thanks for the wonderful rip!
I was really into David Sanborn in his heyday of the mid-80s. Which is also to say – I was really into his collaborations with Marcus Miller, since Miller wrote, produced and played so much of Sanborn’s material. He’s a legendary bass player, but I think he’s an even better composer. The album Slam came from, Close-Up, was the first of their collaborations that didn’t really wow me. Still some pretty good tracks, and great playing.
But for those interested, I think Backstreet (1983) and A Change Of Heart (1987) are the highlights of their collaboration.
I believe Miller used to work with Luther Vandross, too? He was quite underrated as a writer and producer in my opinion.
Nice
