Sahib Shihab • Seeds

A legendary album from saxophonist Sahib Shihab -- a record that's gone onto become the birth of all things modal and club jazz in the current scene! Shihab always sounded great, no matter what the setting, but there was definitely something magical going on with this session -- a one-of-a-kind energy that made his baritone and flute work sound incredibly soulful, searching, and searing -- set up with a tight small combo that includes Francy Boland on piano, Fats Sadi on vibes, Jimmy Woode on bass, and Kenny Clarke on drums -- a hip slice of the Clarke Boland Big Band that works beautifully together! Every tune here is wonderful, and you're bound to recognized a few covered or sampled classics over the years -- on cuts that include "Seeds", "Peter's Waltz", "Who'll Buy My Dream", "Another Samba", "Jay Jay", "Uma Fita De Tres Cores", and "Mauve".

Un álbum legendario del saxofonista Sahib Shihab, un disco que se ha convertido en el nacimiento de todo lo relacionado con el jazz modal y de club en la escena actual. Shihab siempre sonó muy bien, independientemente del entorno, pero sin duda había algo mágico en esta sesión: una energía única que hizo que su barítono y su flauta sonaran increíblemente conmovedores, inquisitivos y abrasadores, acompañados de un pequeño combo que incluye a Francy Boland al piano, Fats Sadi al vibráfono, Jimmy Woode al bajo y Kenny Clarke a la batería: ¡una parte de la Clarke Boland Big Band que funciona de maravilla! Todos los temas son maravillosos, y seguro que reconoces algunos clásicos versionados o sampleados a lo largo de los años, como «Seeds», «Peter's Waltz», «Who'll Buy My Dream», «Another Samba», «Jay Jay», «Uma Fita De Tres Cores» y «Mauve».
