Bergen Performing Arts Center Presents David Sanborn Next Month

David Sanborn-Wednesday, May 17, 2017 at 8PM. Tickets are available at www.ticketmaster.com or by calling bergenPAC's Box Office at 201.227.1030.

Alto saxophonist David Sanborn has released 24 albums and won six Grammy Awards. He has worked in many genres, blending instrumental pop, R&B and lately, more and more traditional jazz. He released his first solo album, Taking Off, in 1975, but has been playing the saxophone since before he was in high school.

His 1979 release of Hideaway became a popular hit and further propelled Sanborn's ascent with "Seduction" being featured in the movie American Gigolo. Veteran bassist and composer Marcus Miller joined Sanborn on the 1981 album Voyeur. The single "All I Need Is You" won Sanborn his first Grammy Award for Best R&B Instrumental Performance.

Later albums have included guest artists like Jack DeJohnette, Bill Frisell, Charlie Hayden, Wallace Roney, Kenny Barron, Christian McBride and Eric Clapton. Sanborn continues to be one of the most active musicians of his genre as he pushes the limits and continues to make music that challenges the mind and goes Straight to The Heart.

Tickets available at: www.ticketmaster.com or Box Office (201) 227-1030.
