Al Jarreau & David Sanborn 10-29-87 Sam Cooke tribute

Sax symbol David Sanborn teams up with Al Jarreau on a tune, and then Jarreau is joined by a pianist to pay tribute to Sam Cooke in a late night television performance broadcast 10-29-87. The BetaGems channel also has "Al Jarreau 10-29-87 late night TV performance," as well as episodes of Sanborn's shows Sunday Night and Night Music, "David Sanborn Heartbreak Hotel 1-15-86 late night TV performance," "David Sanborn October 1987 late night TV performance," "David Sanborn November 1988 late night TV performance," "David Sanborn 10-29-87 late night TV performance," and "David Sanborn on late night TV May 1992."
BetaGems are culled from an archive of over 1000 beta video tapes recorded from 1983 into the 1990s. Most feature live music performances broadcast on television in San Diego CA, though there are also rarely seen commercials, comedy clips, and other material that doesn't seem to be anywhere else on RUclips or online.
Most of the tapes were recorded on a Sony SL-HFT7 Super Beta Theater Hi-Fi Stereo - the same model was refurbished and is being used for these digital transfers and uploads... In rare occasions where a BetaGems clip does appear elsewhere, we're only uploading if our own beta master is better quality or contains material not seen previously. Much footage comes from public television and public access broadcasts that the taper, who worked for a local cable TV production company in the 1980s, monitored nightly for several years. Some of the programming is strictly regional, mostly from the San Diego area.
