Records, introduced Hungarian guitarist Gabor Szabo to a wider American audience with a set that blends modal jazz, Eastern European folk influences, and 1960s pop textures. Recorded in May 1966 at Rudy Van Gelder’s Englewood Cliffs studio and produced by Bob Thiele,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eSpellbinder\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003efeatures Szabo in a quintet setting with pianist Chick Corea (in one of his earliest recorded sessions), bassist Albert Stinson, drummer Chico Hamilton, and percussionist Willie Bobo. The record’s standout moment is a reimagining of Sonny Bono’s “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down),” which Szabo transforms into a darkly lyrical modal meditation. Elsewhere, the group blurs the lines between jazz improvisation and global rhythms, bridging bop vocabulary with the expanding musical frontiers of the mid-1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Verve Vault Series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMusicians:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGabor Szabo - Guitar\u003cbr\u003eChick Corea - Piano\u003cbr\u003eAlbert Stinson - Bass\u003cbr\u003eChico Hamilton - Drums\u003cbr\u003eWillie Bobo - Percussion\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tone Deaf Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48982092120304,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0053\/3315\/5912\/files\/FRONT_75_2c52051b-1db8-4f97-b79e-0f11274f4a7e.jpg?v=1773424243","url":"https:\/\/tonedeafrecs.com\/products\/new-szabo-gabor-spellbinder-lp","provider":"Tone Deaf Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
