WBGO celebrates the life and music of David Sanborn

On Sunday, May 19, WBGO paid tribute to the life and music of our dear friend and colleague David Sanborn, with two hour-long specials.

In the first episode, you can hear some of the best moments from the WBGO podcast As We Speak with David Sanborn, including conversations with Sonny Rollins, Pat Metheny, Kurt Elling, John McLaughlin and more.

Listen, above.

For the second episode, we reached into the WBGO archives for a 2010 interview between the late Michael Bourne and David Sanborn. The two bonded over growing up in St, Louis and their tremendous love and respect for the music, so it’s no surprise that their conversation is both informal and insightful.
