I am so saddened to hear of David Sanbornβs passing. He gave us all so much great music and every note was played from the heart. In 2009 I was very fortunate to book and also play with David at our Amelia Island Jazz Festival. David performed his Ray Charles tribute album with my Hittinβ The Blue Notes Band which also featured my wife vocalist Bonnie Eisele-DeMerle and he delivered an incredible two night performance that raised the bar for our Festival.David was the real deal playing every note like it was his last. Thank you David for sharing your beautiful soul with the world. RIP dear friend. ... See MoreSee Less
