Jerome Sabbagh
Born:
“Mr. Sabbagh avoided direct allusions to the saxophone totems. What he is working toward, simply and effectively, is a sincerely personal vocabulary." - New York Times
Saxophonist and composer Jerome Sabbagh was born in Paris in 1973 and has been living in New York since 1995. He became an American citizen in 2014.
Jerome Sabbagh was one of Paul Motian's last saxophone players. After one gig together, the legendary drummer asked him to play for a week at the Village Vanguard, in his "New Trio" with guitarist Ben Monder, in September 2011. A prolific forward-thinking composer, as well as a musician with a deep connection to the well of the jazz tradition, he has been leading a few bands over the last few years.

Anders Hagberg, Arek Czernysz Quartet, Coulondre/Dolmen/Privat & more
by Marek J. Śmietański
From October's new European releases, I chose 19 remarkable premieres for Episode 118th--with the majority coming from merely three regions: five each from Poland, France, and the Scandinavia. The selection brimmed with daring, unconventional instrumentation, revealing itself most vividly through intimate and startling duets and trios. A superb set... nothing more, nothing less--just pure jazz alchemy, ...
Jerome Sabbagh: Stand Up!
by Joshua Weiner
While much great jazz has emerged from one-off encounters among musicians, there is a lot to be said for the synergy of longstanding working bands. The former may provide more spontaneity and produce fireworks, but it can also lead to the occasional dud due to a mismatch in approach. Players in a working band, in contrast, ...

Jerome Sabbagh: Heart
by Chris May
AAJ occasionally publishes reviews which call out the barbarism of digital-only albums (Heart is not one of these, please hang on in there). Item: the review of Brazilian saxophonist and flautist Vinicius Mendes' Macunaismo Tardio Vol. 1&2 (Notes On A Journey, 2024). The two albums collected on that vinyl double-LP, blinders both, were originally released separately ...
