When the summer approaches and the weather is getting warmer this is a perfect soundtrack, and it makes for a bit of a happier mindset. This music is so beautiful, displaying brilliant musicianship and soul. Sahib Shihab was a lovely multi-instrumentalist (his flute playing was something else) and composer, which is featured heavily on this album. He penned all the tunes and they are all such a joy to listen to. The personell is top notch and it’s great to hear fellow Swede Åke Persson on trombone. This is one of my best sounding records as well, engineered by Wolfgang Hirschmann. Such a soft and pleasant soundstage with plenty of detail, which creates a wonderful listening experience.
Overall I need to dive deeper into Shihab’s catalogue. I’m after one title called “Sahib’s Jazz Party” (which will be a tall order to find for sure), released on the Danish Debut label. Great stuff.
Do you have some favorite Sahib Shihab albums? Please share.
Enjoy your collections folks and also; get outside and catch some sun. Cheers!
