Gabor Szabo: The Sorcerer Vinyl LP

This is a live album by the famous Hungarian jazz guitarist Gabor Szabo. 'The Sorcerer' was first recorded in 1967 at Boston's Jazz Workshop. It captures the excitement Szabo's group created in 1967 - 1968. His quartet included Jimmy Stewart on guitar, Louis Kabok on bass, Marty Morell on drums, and Hal Gordon as percussionist. They offer eastern - flavored renditions of 'The Beat Goes On' by Sonny and Cher and 'What Is This Thing Called Love' by Cole Porter, plus some Szabo originals and covers of French pop and bossanova tunes. This album elevated Szabo from a well - known jazz figure to a larger pop audience. It comes in a black vinyl pressing, originally released in 1967 under the Impulse! label in 2015. There are eight tracks in total. Reviewed by Cool Hand in 02/2016.
