Bob James & David Sanborn – Double Vision | Original 1986 Warner Bros. Jazz Music Cassette

A superb vintage jazz recording featuring two major names in contemporary jazz — Bob James and David Sanborn.

Released in 1986, Double Vision combines Bob James' keyboards and synthesizers with David Sanborn's distinctive alto saxophone. The recording also features an exceptional supporting lineup including Marcus Miller, Steve Gadd, Eric Gale, Paulinho Da Costa and Al Jarreau.

The album became a significant contemporary-jazz release and won the 1986 Grammy for Best Jazz Fusion Performance.

For collectors, this is considerably more desirable than an ordinary pop compilation because it is a specific artist album with an important jazz pedigree.
