David Sanborn: Here & Gone
by C. Michael Bailey
It would not be hard to accuse Here & Gone of being commercially contrived. The disk features a 'prominent musician' playing duets with other prominent musicians.

A gathering of the six albums released during that time, three later albums culled from those sessions and alternate takes, it ...
