"Vintage", a new AAA jazz recording by Jerome Sabbagh

[hopkins]

Yes, I have the Art Pepper/George Cables album (Art Pepper was one of my early influences when I was learning how to play) and I love the Stan Getz/Kenny Barron "People Time" duets (there is now a 7 CDs boxset available with all the gigs that week at Montmartre). I also love the less well know Stan Getz/Albert Dailey album "Poetry", which I think has some stunning playing from both. And there's also a nice Joel Frahm/Brad Mehldau duet album "Don't Explain" ... Many more, I'm sure, but there's something special about piano and sax.

It must have been inspiring to play with Kenny Barron. Will purchase your album

Thanks for the duet recommendations. Duets with saxophone are indeed interesting. With bass, there's a 1964 Webster/Hinton session which is very nice (but only two tracks, unfortunately).

It was very inspiring, that's for sure. I hope you like the results!

I wanted to let everyone know that unfortunately, the vinyl will not be ready until mid-October. Here is the update I just posted on Kickstarter:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1834848136/jerome-sabbagh-vintage-180g-all-analog-vinyl/posts/3912860

I am sorry about the delay, and I thank everyone here who bought the vinyl for their patience!

...sorry vinyl dudes, but FYI I did pull the digital files down and load them onto the Extreme and they are excellent. I played the set through last night. Lively, detailed sound. A genuine pleasure!

Hi Jerome,

Very exciting. I ordered just the CD pretty much when you first announced the album here...when are they due to arrive?

Just got the tape version today. Unfortunately, I will have to wait a bit until I can play the two reels. Larry

Hi,

Your CD shipped on ... Sep 15! I shipped all the CDs that were pre-ordered on Kickstarter or otherwise at that time. There must be some kind of issue. I tracked it. Let me send you a PM so we can sort this out. Sorry about this!

Hi everyone,

I am still waiting for the vinyl but I wanted to let everyone know here that the album is available on R2R tapes (as well as CDs and downloads/streaming). We just listened to a tape at Ana Might Sound in Paris (1/4 inch, 15 ips, CCIR). We played it back on a Studer A80 using darTZeel monoblocks and Stenheim Aluminum 5 speakers. I thought it sounded pretty great ...

Short video here:

The vinyl should press soon ... I will keep you updated.

And next time, tell François that the humshield on his A80 should be set in the correct position when playing tapes ;-)
