I 10 CD nel CD player di... Jerome Sabbagh

01. Kristin Slipp/Dov Manski -A Thousand Julys (Sunnyside -2013). Interessante lavoro sugli standard da parte di questo duo voce e piano/wurlitzer non convenzionale ma pienamente centrato. 02. Johnathan Blake -Gone, but Not Forgotten (Criss Cross -2014). Tributo ad alcuni grandi musicisti scomparsi recentemente e alle loro composizioni. Grandi interpretazioni da parte di tutti (Ben Street, Mark Turner, Chris Potter). 03. Jochen Rueckert -We Make the Rules (Whirlwind Recordings -2014). Grandi composizioni ...

Jerome Sabbagh: The Turn

Read "The Turn" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

This is one of three bands tenor saxophonist, Jerome Sabbagh leads amid his numerous gigs as a session artist and group member with pianists Laurent Coq and Guillermo Klein, paired with many other diverse musical roles in the modern jazz community. This quartet strikes back with its third album, following Pogo (Sunnyside, 2007) and North (Sunnyside, 2004). Besides his burly tone, melodic structures and fluent improvisational acumen, one of the key differentiators is how Sabbagh transparently melds modern mainstream with ...

Jerome Sabbagh: The Turn

Read "The Turn" reviewed by Luigi Sforza

by Luigi Sforza

Non di rado il processo di elaborazione creativa parte dalla riformulazione di materiale preesistente, il quale assemblato in forma nuova può dar vita ad opere che assumono connotati affatto originali. Ciò che il tenor sassofonista francese di stanza a New York dal 1995 Jerome Sabbagh ha fatto nel suo ultimo disco -The Turn-è stato potenziare con sensibilità contemporanea la carica espressiva di alcuni concetti sonori riconducibili alla grande tradizione moderna del jazz. Il disco cattura l'essenza del passato, parafrasa ...

Jerome Sabbagh: Plugged In

Read "Plugged In" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff

by AAJ Italy Staff

Il saxofonista francese (ma di base a New York) Jerome Sabbagh organizza un quartetto di grande duttilità per dar vita a Plugged In, un album dove si incontrano mainstream e situazioni chiaroscurali, che si alternano a momenti dal taglio maggiormente più introspettivo e di ricerca. Sono ben quattordici le tracce in scaletta, nelle quali il leader - che ne firma la metà - riesce a mostrare la sua versatilità timbrica cambiando spesso registro espressivo, passando da languide melodie a scatti ...

Jerome Sabbagh: Plugged In

Read "Plugged In" reviewed by Glenn Astarita

by Glenn Astarita

New York City-based tenor saxophonist Jerome Sabbagh has made the rounds by performing with a who's who of modern jazz artists amid his flourishing career as a solo artist. Possessing a stout tone and commanding presence, the artist's lyrically resplendent phraseology is often a good fit for a variety of jazz settings, including mainstream and the outside realm. With his acoustic-electric quartet, Sabbagh enjoys a notable affiliation with Belgian keyboard virtuoso Jozef Dumoulin, who spawns a polytonal, electronics vista, complete ...

Jerome Sabbagh featuring Jozef Dumoulin: Plugged In

Read "Plugged In" reviewed by Jeff Dayton-Johnson

by Jeff Dayton-Johnson

Plugged In is an immensely appealing record and an artistic success. The source of that success is the revelatory combination of the highly individual--and at first blush, not necessarily compatible--sounds of saxophonist Jerome Sabbagh and keyboardist Jozef Dumoulin.Sabbagh has had a string of critically-acclaimed albums, notably including North (Fresh Sound New Talent, 2005) and Pogo (Sunnyside, 2007), both of which featured guitarist Ben Monder. On these and other records, Sabbagh comes across as a poster child for the ...
