Straight to the Heart (David Sanborn album)


Straight to the Heart is a 1984 album by David Sanborn. The recording won the 1986 Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance.

Reception

Allmusic awarded the album with 4 stars and its review by Scott Yanow states: "With bassist Marcus Miller acting as producer and some memorable tunes being performed, this is one of altoist David Sanborn's better R&B-ish recordings. Joined by keyboardist Don Grolnick, guitarist Hiram Bullock, bassist Miller, drummer Buddy Williams and various guest musicians, Sanborn sounds fairly inspired and is in top form."
