David Sanborn-"Voyeur" (1981)

David Sanborn is one of the most acclaimed saxophonists in history, a musician who has inspired thousands of rock, jazz, pop or blues musicians.
As a child and as part of the treatment and rehabilitation against polio and on medical advice, little David begins to play the saxophone.
His first influences were on the Chicago bluesmen and before finishing his studies he had already collaborated with Albert King or Little Milton.
After belonging to the Butterfield Blues Band with which he participated in the famous Woodstock, he would play on the Stevie Wonder album "Talking Book", thus starting a brilliant career as a session musician for many artists; The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, James Brown, Don McLean, Ian Hunter, Michael Bolton or Bruce Springsteen among many others.
In 1975 he published his first solo album "Taking Off" in which the song "Butterfat" stood out with a touch of sax with wha-wha, and that would help the major labels to notice him.
In 1979 he had his first Grammy nomination for his album "Hideway" where he had already expanded his horn section that were very well received by critics (eventually he would get six awards in total).
In 1981 would come "Voyeur" his best work and at the same time the most successful in sales, and winner of his first Grammy award.
With a style between smooth jazz and mainstream jazz with certain pop touches Sanborn was releasing albums regularly, some of them very successful like "As We Speak" (1981), "Backstreet" (1983) or "Straight to the Heart" (1984).
His career has continued to this day with many collaborations for other artists or regularly publishing works that are well received by the smooth jazz fan circuit and jazz in general.
