Jerome Sabbagh Heart

With "Heart", French saxophonist Jerome Sabbagh releases the follow-up to "Vintage", which was highly praised by critics and developed into an audiophile insider tip. With his proven, excellent accompanying musicians, bassist Joe Martin and drummer Al Foster and an elaborate recording at the highest level, Sabbagh brings another work for fine ears and fine collections to the market.
As always, the production was brilliantly mastered by Bernie Grundman; the release is the first on Sabbagh's own label, "Analog Tone Factory". The recording was made by renowned sound engineer James Farber in New York's "Power Station Studio".
"The process of recording Heart testifies to Sabbagh’s obsessiveness about sound and his remarkable interest in recording. Very few recordings go to such extraordinary lengths to achieve their sound [...] While I thoroughly enjoyed the superb-sounding Vintage, both the playing and sound on Heart strike me as being on a higher level. Sabbagh sounds more driven and inspired, while Foster drums with boundless inventiveness and charm. The sound is closer-miked, richer, and even more transparent." - Alex Halbertstadt, Stereophile
