The lyricism of the saxophone is enveloping with the orchestral melody.
He reconstructs familiar masterpieces with a jazz sensibility, showcasing the depth and universality of jazz through beautiful performances that are accompanied by silence and restraint.
This album highlights the soft, rich tone of Sanborn's alto saxophone. Against the backdrop of orchestral and strings, he plays melodies leisurely, while also conveying the power to express emotion through his breath and the fluctuations of his sound. The selection includes jazz standards and pop classics, allowing listeners to experience familiar themes from a new perspective. The understated arrangements and subdued performances invite the listener into a leisurely flow of time.
