Occasionally Sanborn throws the music world a curve: his eccentric but rewarding Another Hand, a guest stint with avant-gardist Tim Berne on a 1993 album featuring the compositions of Julius Hemphill, and a set of ballads (Pearls) on which he is accompanied by a string orchestra arranged by Johnny Mandel.
For a couple years in the early '90s, Sanborn was the host of the syndicated television series Night Music which had a very eclectic lineup of musicians (from Sonny Rollins and Sun Ra to James Taylor and heavy metal players), most of whom were given the unique opportunity to play together.

 David Sanborn : Another Hand - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
When David Sanborn debuted on Elektra with Another Hand after a 13-year stay at Warner Bros., the altoist swore off formulaic, radio-oriented muzak and vowed to make artistic considerations his main priority.
Sanborn tends to be reflective rather than extroverted -- an exception being the soul-jazz gem "Hobbies." Instead of avoiding complexity as some of his more commercial recordings did, Another Hand often thrives on it.
The album's main flaw lies in the fact that too often, the sidemen tend to serve as a backdrop for Sanborn instead of being active soloists.

 Metroactive Music | David Sanborn
Even Sanborn admits that the upbeat, dance-oriented style for which he is known was "self-limiting" and forced him to play in the upper register of the instrument, a situation that he concedes resulted in a certain "sameness" of expression.

Sanborn also hosted a nationally syndicated radio program that gave airplay to traditional jazz usually shunned by participating adult contemporary stations.
