Description
This 1967 set, recorded live at Bostons Jazz Workshop, showcases virtuoso guitarist Szaba veteran of Chico Hamiltons and Charles Lloyds bandsat the top of his game on a diverse program featuring standards (What Is This Thing Called Love) and pop hits (The Beat Goes On) as well as the original and psychedelic-tinged jam, Space. (via Label)
Gabor Szabo’s quintet featuring Jimmy Stewart was one of the guitarist’s very best units. Live performances like this, recorded at Boston’s Jazz Workshop, document some of the excitement the group stirred in 1967-1968.
The playing seems inspired, and the interplay within the group is something to behold — even when performing lightweight tunes like “The Beat Goes On.” (via AllMusic)
