Sanborn had to cancel  shows last year, as he went through a pneumonia, which he fortunately overcame. But now he is back on the road and will be heading into the studio with an old friend, legendary producer Phil Ramone, on September 20 to begin work on his new (and first) album for the music label Decca/Universal.  Sanborn lately took part to singular pop group Ween's latest album "La Cucaracha" and made a special guest appearance on the song  "Your Party." According to band member Dean Ween, the band long ago vowed to never use horns, unless "we could get David Sanborn to play some sexy saxophone." By Akbar Nour

Review - David Sanborn - TimeAgain
July 5, 2003 - Much of the music on the latest from veteran alto sax man David Sanborn relates to his childhood in St. Louis. As the title suggests he is re-examining songs that mean a lot to him. "Harlem Nocturne", "Sugar", "Tequila" and "Isn't She Lovely" are clothed in David's distinctive, easy on the ears style along with 3 originals and Joni Mitchell's "Man From Mars". He has a huge hit with Ben Tucker's "Comin' Home Baby" and it's only a matter of time before his label releases another single from the collection. Read more of Bob Farrow's review
David Sanborn Releases TimeAgain
June 4, 2003 - David Sanborn returned with a new album yesterday and the first single is already a hit on the U.S. R&R charts. "Comin' Home Baby" from his first Verve album 'TimeAgain' is in the top 20 and Sanborn says the CD is serving as sort of a homecoming with covers of his favorite tunes. Expect to hear Joni Mitchell's "Man from Mars," Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely" plus takes on "Harlem Nocturne," and "Tequila."  'TimeAgain' is Sanborn's first album since 1999's 'Inside' and features the sax man also playing piano.
