Played with the greats
Jazz saxophonist David Sanborn dies of cancer
The American jazz saxophonist David Sanborn is dead. He died on Sunday at the age of 78 as a result of prostate cancer, the family announced on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday.
Sanborn's management confirmed the announcement (see post below) to Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa in New York on request.
Sanborn, who was born in the US state of Florida in 1945 and was diagnosed with polio at the age of three, began playing the alto saxophone as a form of therapy. As he grew up in St. Louis in the state of Missouri, he was significantly inspired by Chicago blues musicians.
Played with countless music greats
Sanborn has played with music greats such as Al Jarreau, the Rolling Stones, Steely Dan, Eric Clapton, Sting, Paul Simon, David Bowie, Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis and Roger Waters. The multi-award-winning Sanborn was considered one of the most successful saxophonists of the past decades in the USA.
Later - in the 1980s and 1990s - he had his own radio program called "The Jazz Show with David Sanborn".
