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?

i believe there was another host of this show as well. i think it may been jools holland but i could be wrong.

i wish i would have taped them.
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!
Luv the show. I caught a really groovy old B+W clip of Slim Gaillard doing "Dunkin' Bagels in the Coffee" and really trippy guy named Christian Marclay who plays about 5 turntables simultaneously and spins old broken records (he's now a pretty big performance/installatin artist). Thanks to Sanborn for bringing such cool stuff to the tube.

the rights clearances to a show like this could be the obstacle - or just the ecomonics of selling obscure, bizarro to the few weirdos like me who dig this stuff.
