Eric first worked with the jazz saxophonist in 1983 and along with Michael Kamen, the three went on to score all of the soundtracks for the Lethal Weapon film franchise. David performed with Eric many times, including the 1997 Legends Jazz Tour and the 1999 Crossroads Concert at Madison Square Garden. He also contributed to Eric’s 1990 album, Journeyman.
