David Sanborn has never sounded better - once again he redefines the sound of the saxophone in contemporary music as he did in the pop world in the 70's and contemporary jazz in the 80's. Closer is the brilliant follow-up to the legendary saxophonist's Verve debut timeagain which scanned over 100,000 units and had the #1 smooth jazz track of the year with 'Comin' Home Baby'. The eclectic selection of songs runs the gamut of modern jazz and popular music, from Horace Silver's 'Senor Blues' to Charlie Chaplin's 'Smile', the first smooth jazz radio focus track 'Tin Tin Deo', James Taylor's 'Don't Let Me Be Lonely Tonight' featuring Verve artist Lizz Wright, plus Sanborn's own 'Sofia' and 'Another Time, Another Place'.
