Dave Sanborn

Before his world-renowned work fronting the Yellowjackets, Bob Mintzer led one of the heaviest big bands in jazz. The New York saxophonist and arranger enlisted some of the world’s top players for his first Horn Man Big Band album, Papa Lips. Featuring big sounds and fierce blowing from Mintzer and fellow horn men Dave Sanborn, Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker and Marvin Stamm, the album also features swinging, funk-influenced rhythm work by bassist Will Lee and drummer Peter Erskine, and tasty piano chops from the late great Don Grolnick. A rare gem previously released in only Japan, this new release showcases a glorious start to an important latter-day big band.

Bring together the music scene's hottest sax player and one of soul's sterling vocalists. Then capture these two show-stoppers on one stage. That's Dave Koz and Phil Perry. Live at the Strand. This intimate show captures Phil's voice and Dave's sax altering solo spots and sharing the stage. Full of personal charm and musical thrills, a delightful blend of cool jazz, warm soul and hot R&B.

Night-Lines is an album by American pianist Dave Grusin released in 1984, recorded for the GRP label. The album reached #4 on Billboard's Contemporary Jazz chart. The album's cover is from the November 1983 issue of Electronic Fun with Computers & Games.

The Island of Real is the ninth studio album by rock band The Rascals, released in 1972. It peaked at number 180 on the Billboard 200 chart. The group's final three singles — “Lucky Day,” “Brother Tree,” and “Hummin’ Song” — failed to make the Top 100 and the Rascals disbanded.

Felix Cavaliere is lead vocal in those amazing "Young Rascals" and "The Rascals" mega-hits from the fabulous musical sixties on through to early seventies…first solo effort self-titled "Felix Cavaliere" is a fantastic collection co-produced by Todd Rundgren featuring Utopia, amazing there were not chart-topping mega-hits and multiple Grammy Awards, guess brain-dead radio had no idea to program this amazing singer and sadly appeared music industry didn't have a clue who this awesome singer was at the time…leaving "The Rascals" seemed the name Felix Cavaliere didn't ring a bell, yet for hard-core fans it did and big time!
