Join us for April's installment of the Strictly Jazz series curated by Dennis Adams, this time featuring saxophonist Dr. Bill Hurd as he pays homage to the great David Sanborn!
**Dr. Bill Hurd** is a man of many lives. Track star (Manassas High and All-American at Notre Dame), graduate of MIT, and world-renowned ophthalmologist, he’s traveled to West Africa and Madagascar for medical mission work. He’s also an inventor, a husband to Judge Rhynette Northcross Hurd–oh, and a master musician playing with the likes of Kirk Whalum, Isaac Hayes, and Maurice White.
David Sanborn (1945–2024) was an influential American alto saxophonist renowned for blending jazz with pop and R&B, earning six Grammy Awards and releasing 25 albums. Over a six-decade career, he became a premier session musician for artists like David Bowie and Stevie Wonder, while his solo work, beginning with Taking Off (1975), defined the contemporary saxophone sound.
