Another Hand is an album by the American saxophonist David Sanborn, released in 1991.[2][3]
Another Hand peaked at No. 170 on the Billboard 200.[4] The album and the title track were nominated for Grammy Awards, in the "Best Jazz Instrumental Performance, Group" and "Best Jazz Instrumental Solo" categories.[5]
Entertainment Weekly deemed the album "the first Sanborn record to extend beyond his ever-popular R&B-fusion style and really suggest his broad tastes."[12]The Wall Street Journal thought that Bill Frisell's "moody, rubbery guitar sets the tone for a project that permits Sanborn to stretch beyond the saccharine jazz-pop for which he is adored."[15]
The Washington Post wrote: "Often vilified for his fashionable fusion and general sense of accommodation, Sanborn surprised his severest critics with the cinematic sweep of this straight-ahead jazz and blues-inflected album."[16] The Calgary Herald opined that "the kind of icy jazz noodling that David Sanborn favors sets a mind wanderin' to more interesting places."[10]The Indianapolis Star noted that "some of the music cultivates a 'sound' more intently than it explores the individualism of the players, but this will keep the pop contingent of Sanborn's fans happy."[1]
AllMusic wrote that "there's nothing shallow or contrived about the album, an exploratory, heartfelt effort generally defined by his introspective, soulsearching improvisations."[9]
