Label: Storyville
Recorded In Copenhagen, August 21, 1965.
Audio CD: (May 10, 2005)

Jazz

The music here has never been released before on CD, and is comprised of 2 extremely rare LP’s: “Sahib Shihab & the Danish Radio Jazz Group” (recorded in 1965) and “Sentiments” (recorded in 1971). Joining saxophonist Sahib Shihab on these two sessions are the best musicians on the Danish scene in the late 60’s, including Bent Jædig on tenor sax, Palle Mikkelborg on trumpet, Torolf Mølgaard on trombone, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen on bass, Alex Riel on drums and the famous American pianist Kenny Drew. The musical style is jazz, sometimes blended with an Eastern, North African or American Indian influence and – on one tune – even rock music. This CD is packed with exciting compositions and wonderful performances; check out Kenny Drew’s moving ballad “Extase”, among many fine examples.

Combines two Danish now OOP "Conversation" LP from 1965 and 1971 "Sentiments".Would say this is best thing he ever put down but let me just say this is one of the best (most danceable) CD's of Shihab who left USA and went to become one of the phenomenal Clarke Bolland Big Band.IT IS INCREDIBLE!!! But now that Schema/Rearward has released his Vogue LP's with Clarke Bolland (ones with white over-spacing on title) his he other great work out there like medium ensemble group session with Danish Radio Big Band on Oktav.But this is best two works along with insanely hard to find "Shaib Shihab's Jazz Party" On Danish Debut.That is a $1K LP is your able to find it though short run CD did come out.This is combination of all the cool you'd find in say a Coltrane Classic Quartet LP or something like Lateef's "Eastern Sounds".I wish they would release his "Summer Dawn" on Argo.Just listen.It is a killer CD by a Baritone player who is mentioned only in the same category of other modern greats like Mulligan,Pepper Adams and damn few others.
