Favorite David Sanborn Quotes

1. "Jazz music should be inclusive. Smooth jazz to me rules out a certain kind of drama and a certain tension that I think all music needs. Especially jazz music, since improvising is one of the cornerstones of what jazz is. And when you smooth it out, you take all the drama out of it." ~ David Sanborn
2. "Its all about finding the right note at the right place and knowing when to leave well enough alone. And that's a lifelong quest." ~ David Sanborn

4. "Music is just kind of an expression of who I am. It's what I do." ~ David Sanborn

8. "I have pretty ecumenical tastes. I'm interested in a lot of different kinds of music, so I don't listen with a jaundiced ear to music because it's in a certain category, whether it's country or opera or hip-hop or bebop or whatever it is." ~ David Sanborn
9. "I look at the artistic process as like experiencing the world, channeling it through your personality and sending it back out there. That's the process." ~ David Sanborn

11. "I think 'Horace Silver' was actually the first live jazz group I ever heard back when I was a kid in St. Louis. So along with most players of my generation, I have a real affection for the music of 'Horace Silver.'" ~ David Sanborn
12. "In most of the stuff that I've done over the years as a sideman, I wasn't really a session musician, because to me, a session musician is a guy who makes his living in the studio, and I never really did that." ~ David Sanborn
