Synopsis

Product Description

The 1975 debut album from the superstar saxophonist! No other horn player in popular music has crossed over so many genres, and done so with as much aplomb, as David Sanborn; the unmistakable cry of his alto has graced countless hits and tracks both by himself and other major artists in rhythm & blues, jazz and pop. With this reissue, however we capture him at the very dawn of what was to become a hugely successful career, backed by an incredible band including the Brecker Brothers, Steve Khan and Howard Johnson on Butterfat. A jazzy Collectors Choice Music exclusive!

CD Reviews

Definitely the best!!!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I became a Sanborn fan in the early seventies, especially his work with the great Paul Butterfield Blues Band. (Woodstock)and David Bowie Live. Taking Off was his first solo album. This cd is very funky with songs like Butterfat and Funky banana. In my opinon he never reached that level again. I have many other albums but Taking Off is the only one I still play. The other albums are so mellow and they don't "swing"."

Taking Off describes it perfectly

"This CD is one of Sanborns first CD's on his own. Songs 7,8,9 refer to as the sweep, this piece is a very early indication of the talent that David Sanborn would prove to have and become the master of his domain."
