Review

In 1967, guitarist Gabor Szabo had his finest working group, a quintet with the very complementary fellow guitarist Jimmy Stewart, bassist Louis Kabok, either Marty Morrell or Bill Goodwin on drums and percussionist Hal Gordon. A live album, Sorcery (which has been reissued on CD), features this band at its best. More Sorcery has three selections taken from the same engagement at Boston's Jazz Workshop, plus three numbers from that year's Monterey Jazz Festival. Szabo, in addition to surprisingly successful versions of "People" and the Beatles' "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds," performs a brief version of "Corcovado" and three of his better originals. This excellent LP is well worth searching for. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
