Album Description Labeled as 'the Nureyev of the guitar' by jazz critic Leonard Feather, Gabor Szabo was at his creative peak when this record appeared. On 1969, Gabor Szabo puts a Jazz spin on popular songs of the '60s including 'Walk Away Renee' (a major hit for The Left Banke), the Beatles' 'In My Life,' and Joni Mitchell's 'Both Sides Now.' There were many Jazz artists who wouldn't have touched these songs in 1969 but Szabo acknowledges that worthwhile popular music didn't die with George Gershwin. The Hungarian guitarist deserves credit for bringing a Jazz perspective to songs that so many other improvisers were ignoring. Produced by Gary McFarland. Skye Records. Similar CDs

CD ReviewsSzabo Agains Shows His Unique Guitar Playing skapunkbluesjazzrock | 01/25/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "This is a pretty good Szabo album, but it really doesn't compare well with the greatness of The Socerer and Jazz/Mysticism/Exotica. This Gabor album is a little more poppy than the previously listed more jazzy efforts of Szabo. I admit that i like his jazzier albums much better than this one, but i still have to admit that this one is very, very good. Szabo's guitar playing still leads and fits in perfectly with the style of music that he is playing. Fans of other Szabo albums still should probably pick this one up." Great Light Guitar Music T. Telfer | Ukiah, CA United States | 04/18/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "I picked this album up on vinyl for 50 cents last year, and the shop owner gave a little groan when he saw what a steal I was getting. I agree with the last reviewer that this album is not going to change your life, but it is very pleasant, and well worth buying.-TT"
