Hia Sanborn collaborations are some of the best.

No doubt.
Maputo, frm. the "Double Vision" disc is one of my favorites. It's a simple, yet oh-so-elegant groove.
And THAT is Marcus' addition to anything he touches: GROOVE.
ALS...his work with Joe Sample is equally outstanding.
(sorry for the rant.)
