“Amelia and I are huge fans of Low and were incredibly saddened to hear of Mimi’s passing,” Sanborn explained in a statement. “I still remember hearing it The curtain hits the actors For the first time as a teenager and they were instantly hit by “Anon” – they were haunting and soulful in a way I’d never heard them before, and I’ve still been listening to them all these years. So this past January, when we were finalizing the session for Electric Lady, I knew we’d be joined by the Attacca quartet and immediately thought of covering “Will The Night” as a tribute to Mimi. It’s one of my all-time favorite songs, beautiful, simple and timeless, a light in the dark.”
