Jérôme Sabbagh - Vintage [2023] FLAC (24bit-192kHz)




Label: Sunnyside Records, 2023

Personnel - Jerome Sabbagh: tenor saxophone; Kenny Barron: piano; Joe Martin: bass; Johnathan Blake: drums.

Favoring straight-ahead jazz flavors and plain structures over complex modernistic approaches, the new outing by French-born, New York-based saxophonist Jerome Sabbagh, Vintage, is a tribute to tradition and jazz heroes. One of them, the veteran pianist Kenny Barron, is in this quartet, assuring a lusty rhythm section with younger yet accomplished foundation connoisseurs such as bassist Joe Martin and drummer Johnathan Blake. The saxophonist was struck by Barron’s playing as a teenager in a Paris concert by saxophonist Stan Getz. This marks his first work as a leader with piano as harmonic accompaniment, after years working with guitarists Ben Monder and Greg Tuohey.
