     David Sanborn, a renowned saxophone player, is an artist, whose music has been an inspiration for countless musicians across several genres, including jazz, R&B and pop. Sanborn helped define the saxophone’s modern sound while influencing a generation.
    In 1975, Sanborn released his first solo album, Taking Off, eventually scoring massive popular hits with 1980’s Hideaway and 1981’s Grammy winning Voyeur. David won his second Grammy in 1986 for the album Double Vision, and in the late 1980s he hosted one of the most remarkable musical television programs of all time, Night Music.
    Sanborn is both a musician and artist. He is as eager today as he was in his youth to continue pushing boundaries and to continue making music that challenges the mind while rewarding the heart and soul.

Joey DeFancesco

    Joey DeFrancesco is claimed to be the baddest B-3 burner in the business by organ enthusiasts. It is an accusation supported by his five consecutive DownBeat Critics Poll awards for 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006. With over 20 solo releases and historic associations with legends such as Miles Davis, Jimmy Smith, Bobby Hutcherson, Elvin Jones and John McLaughlin, DeFrancesco's place in the idiom’s history is cemented.
