As for his style, I can take it or leave it. I do enjoy some older George Benson, and I liken this to that.

The vibes are so wonderfully recorded, a real testament to studio improvements.

I also borrowed a DVD of a Sanborn performance at Montreux in '84.

Glad you enjoyed it. I also generally prefer the masters but Sanborn's stuff is close enough to that edge that with the sound quality it makes for a decent occasional escape from the norm.

Love me some Charlie Hunter too, but you had already returned the favor...hadn't pulled out that ragged copy of Badmotorfinger in quite some time. Kim Thayil doesn't get enough credit as having been one of the original purveyors of the drop tunings that are so present in today's schlock/glam cookie monster fodder...
