Records, introduced Hungarian guitarist Gabor Szabo to a wider American audience with a set that blends modal jazz, Eastern European folk influences, and 1960s pop textures. Recorded in May 1966 at Rudy Van Gelder's Englewood Cliffs studio and produced by Bob Thiele, Spellbinder features Szabo in a quintet setting with pianist Chick Corea (in one of his earliest recorded sessions), bassist Albert Stinson, drummer Chico Hamilton, and percussionist Willie Bobo. The record's standout moment is a reimagining of Sonny Bono's ''Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down),'' which Szabo transforms into a darkly lyrical modal meditation. Elsewhere, the group blurs the lines between jazz improvisation and global rhythms, bridging bop vocabulary with the expanding musical frontiers of the mid-1960s. The Verve Vault Series is always mastered from analog tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-about\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-action=\"click-\u0026gt;items--shared--tracklist--base-component#trackPlayPause:stop:prevent\" data-position=\"1\" data-url=\"https:\/\/a0.cdn.hhv.de\/audio\/01369\/1369262_1.mp3\" class=\"track can_play\"\u003eA1    Spellbinder    \u003cbr\u003eA2    Witchcraft    \u003cbr\u003eA3    It Was A Very Good Year    \u003cbr\u003eA4    Gypsy Queen    \u003cbr\u003eB1    Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)    \u003cbr\u003eB2    Cheetah    \u003cbr\u003eB3    My Foolish Heart    \u003cbr\u003eB4    Yearning    \u003cbr\u003eB5    Autumn Leaves \/ Speak To Me Of Love (Medley)    \u003cbr\u003eB6    My Foolish Heart\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gabor Szabo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55618955903316,"sku":"0602478984860","price":37.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/7547\/7428\/files\/ce883dc8dbccc8098f1b591a6dbc298e7d3010b042237841db04e9ae86f7a814.jpg?v=1777037656","url":"https:\/\/rrcmusic.co\/products\/gabor-szabo-spellbinder-lp","provider":"RRC MUSIC CO.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
