Additional information
Personnel: David Sanborn (soprano & alto saxophones, flute); Paul Simon, Phoebe Snow, Patti Austin, Lani Groves (vocals); Rosalinda de Leon, Richard Tee (keyboards); Hiram Bullock (guitar, background vocals); Herb Bushler (bass); Victor Lewis (drums, background vocals); Jumma Santos (percussion). Recorded at A & R Studios, New York, New York. This album is one of David Sanborn's better early recordings. Although the record is perhaps best known for the altoist's version of Paul Simon's "I Do It For Your Love," Sanborn's playing on some of the other cuts (most notably "Mamacita" and "7th Avenue") finds him really stretching within the R&B/crossover genre. Only "Smile" (which has some mundane vocalizing) is a minus, and it is more than compensated for by Sanborn's passionate improvising elsewhere. ~ Scott Yanow
