Gabor Szabo – The Sorcerer (Verve By Request)

180-gram vinyl

Verve By Request Series — Monthly releases from Verve Label Group’s jazz catalog!

Handpicked rarities and fan favorites include out-of-print titles and first-ever vinyl pressings

Verve Records/UMe and Third Man Records have partnered to resurrect the popular reissue series, Verve By Request, with a vinyl twist. Focusing on rare gems and fan-requested jazz albums from the Verve Label Group’s stable of iconic labels, the series will offer two titles per month – each hand-picked by Verve and Third Man Records. The records will include both long-out-of-print titles from the vault as well as the first-ever vinyl pressings for albums released in the ’90s and aughts that were only originally released on CD.

Albums will be newly remastered from original analog sources, when available, and pressed on 180-gram at Third Man Record Pressings in Detroit.

Recorded live at Boston’s Jazz Workshop in 1967, The Sorcerer showcases virtuoso guitarist Szabo (a veteran of bands led by Chico Hamilton and Charles Lloyd) at the top of his game on a diverse program featuring standards (“What Is This Thing Called Love”) and pop hits (“The Beat Goes On”) as well as the original, psychedelic-tinged jam “Space.”
