David Sanborn's "Night Music"

Has anyone ever seen Sanborn's 1988 - 1990 show on tape or disc? It was the best music show ever broadcast on TV. I'll never forget Leonard Cohen and Sonny Rollins playing together. Carla Bley and Bootsy Collins was great, too. And Pharoah Sanders w/Sanborn. And Jack Bruce and Joe Walsh. Betty Carter and Branford Marsalis may have been the best. What's the history of this show not being released?

Yeah, I saw Hyatt and Cray, as well as Zorn. There was something about staying up till midnight on "Sunday Night", which it was also called, to be blown away by these artists. Santana and Wayne Shorter, Bill Frisell, Was not Was was fantastic. And he Roches. Or Miles with Kenny Garrett. How about Word Jazz with .....

I had a friend who recorded all the shows on VhS, but I lost track of him years ago.

What a great show it was too. Such a great variety. SRV, Clapton, and Cray was a good one. So was Warren Zevon, Nanci Griffith, and sooooooo many others.

So much crap on DVD, but yet this is not available. Doesn't make sense.

Any show that gave the Sun Ra Arkestra and Captain Beefheart national tv exposure was a national treasure!
