RIP David Sanborn.
The great alto sax player.
Not many musicians have created an identifiable style, you instantly know it's them when the music plays. Sanborn was one.

Check out his Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Sanborn#Discography page, and prepare to be amazed by the sheer stylistic breadth of talent he backed up.

R.I.P. Donald Sutherland, aged 88, after a long illness.

OBIT

If you haven't already seen it, try to catch his (TV) film "Citizen X". It's based on a true story, and was written and directed by Chris Gerolmo, who also wrote Mississippi Burning.
