David Sanborn - Hideaway (Fusion Best Collection 1000)

Hideaway, álbum perteneciente al saxofonista David Sanborn, incluye una ejecución experta, técnicamente dotada en el alto, apasionada y potente; pero dedicada a abordar una música superficial, no provocativa ni sugerente, inhábil para conmover, o transmitir emoción o sentir alguno, útil a modo de música funcional, virtuosa al sólo efecto de amenizar una velada.

El acompañamiento, una mayoría de probados sesionistas, es impersonal, de compromiso, lánguido, desangelado; en particular esos coros superfluos, descartables; esa sonoridad displicente, estereotipada, clónica, desabrida, sosa, inexpresiva, desafortunada.

Para poner blanco sobre negro: todo el interés que supone una escucha de Hideaway es directamente proporcional al atractivo de la señorita invitada a compartir una cita romántica.

David Sanborn toca bárbaro, una vez más. No es suficiente.***
