With Quartette Humaine, James and Sanborn eschew the pop and R&#038;B production values that mark large chunks of their careers and offer instead an all-acoustic quartet recital consisting of six new compositions by James, three pieces by Sanborn and a James-arranged standard. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"300\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BxyrHFK2Uxk?feature=player_detailpage\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Joined by legendary drummer Steve Gadd and bass giant James Genus, Quartette Humaine is reflective and swinging with unfailingly melodic improvising and beautiful tonalities. &#8220;We felt it&#8217;s far more exciting and adventurous to move forward,&#8221; James says. &#8220;Times have changed and we have changed.&#8221; Adds Sanborn, &#8220;At this stage of my life, I wanted more than anything to play music that&#8217;s challenging and fun, outside the style we&#8217;ve been associated with.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a poignant coincidence that the recording sessions occurred a week after the death of iconic pianist-composer Dave Brubeck, and the album evokes the sound of the Brubeck quartet with Paul Desmond.
