Michael Fremer Rated 11/10 Music, 11/10 Sound!
Positive Feedback 2024 Writers' Choice Award Winner!
Over the last few years, Jerome Sabbagh has been playing trio with bassist Joe Martin, and legendary drummer Al Foster. The trio's performances have drawn an enthusiastic crowd, bridging generations and captivating audiences with their exceptional musicianship and collective spirit.
The album they recorded, Heart, an all analog album recorded by James Farber at Power Station, is the first release on Analog Tone Factory.
Slinky, sexy, devilishly deliberate and slyly conceived and played, Heart is to be savored through repeated listens until you need to play it some more. It will spoil your system... How good is the sound? I don't think you own a record that sounds better than this.
It's a lovely mix of tunes with a distinctly unifying feel: playful, quiet, joyful, self-possessed... The sonics make Heart an essential choice.
Heart is Sabbagh's eleventh leader date and is another artistic &mdash and sonic &mdash triumph.
Heart is hands down the best sounding and musically adventurous album Jerome has done to date. This album features the legendary Al Foster on drums (the list of people he's recorded with is mind boggling) and he's even slightly highlighted on this recording to bring his playing to the fore. You're going to love the sound of Heart if you like the vintage sound of Rudy van Gelder or Roy DuNann. I know I do.
