Gabor Szabo and band

[JeffBlazer74]

Youtube? Pfffff. More like FallopianTube. I just got pregnant.

[colocolinoDePortland]

i own a copy of this video "influence" if im not mistaking, for many many moons it was n old habit of my spirit to smoke buds and replay this song over n over n over, every morning for many many moons. those mornings were some of my favorites, Maestro szabo will forever live in my spirit^

[yesyoumay]

Gabor Szabo has been a fixture in the Jazz world for many decades. I'm surprised he looks so young here!

[PeluMaad]

One of a kind!

[EggBagg26]

This music is wonderful.

Always helps me get the lid off the biscuit tin.

[GaryNull]

I miss music like this.

[DRWJK]

BRAVO ! SUNWUTZU BRAVO ! ! THANKYOU SO VERY MUCH FOR SHAREING THE SORCERER-of-SUCH-STIMULATING-S­OUND AND MASTER-MUSICIAN MR. GABOR SZABO, WITH THE COMMUNICATION-COMMUNITY YOUTUBE. ENCORE ! ENCORE ! ! I HUMBLY-BOW SIR.  REGARDS FROM CANADA.

[frankiesays1953]

Does anybody know where I can get hold of the Nightflight album?

[DavidLouis]

Bobby Lyle on piano, Bruce Carter on drums, Marlon McLain on guitar, Nathaniel Philips on bass !

[CyWebb]

szabo rules!

[justatuch]

Nice 'N mellow. I believe the that's Bobby Lyle on keys, the man on the drums,probably Bruce Carter. I can't place the others. The best album from Gabor was "Faces" in my opinion, but I generally liked his style overall.

[lrpelkey]

though it's a hard choice, i really like "The Sorceror". just a totally solid player.

[r4scuache]

his music makes me sleepy right away, truly psychadelic

[humanvynil]

01:50 to 02:00

funky beautiful brothers.

[grooveskin]

the other three gentlemen went on to form the band PLEASURE As in The One's that sing "GLIDE".

[gmrios]

Perfect!

[09090707]

hun genius

[MrEmptyHand]

Szabos greatest album for me was El Chico, with Chico Hamilton on drums, Sadao Watanabe on flute, Willie Bobo on percussion...an amazing voyage of an album!

[taildragger51]

Gabor's playing always touches my heartstrings...he was a visionary. I remember purchasing the LP "Rambler" way back in 1972.(or thereabouts)

[wdflannery]

To hear Szabo in a different context, listen to Chico Hamilton's Passing Thru and Man from Two Worlds with Charles Lloyd .... Lloyd and Szabo sound GREAT together.

[taildragger51]

wdflannery: Absolutely the best albums you have mentioned! "Passing Thru" is pure magic!

[A7DENJS11VA]

Wow... some people were just born to do what they were born to do.

[jazzlefty]

expresion is great! but his guitar is not very profound, sound speaking, you could hear anyone on the band , but gabor solo is under the comp,.

[pennman82]

That is BOBBY LYLE, confirmed!! I've seen some of his solo albums from the 70's and

80's as proof.

[riotiticaca]

Great !@

[angeloamericano]

nice thanks

[Sketchboxx]

why did gabor die? does anyone know??

[balazst]

"He died in Budapest in 1982 from problems with his liver and kidneys while on a visit to his homeland." (Wikipedia)

[uncletrickey]

I really enjoyed this version of "Nightflight"

I owned this album along with "Faces", which was not well received by the critics. I enjoyed "Gloomy Day", "Alicia", and "Magic Mystic Faces" off the "Faces" album. Bobby Lyle was magical in "Gloomy Day".

[dougpaynedotcom]

This performance of "Concorde (Nightflight)" was recorded for the "Club Date" TV show ( KPBS - San Diego, CA) on April 23, 1977. Gabor is seen with Bobby Lyle on keyboards, Marlon McClain on electric guitar, Nathaniel Phillips on bass and Bruce Carter on drums. All three songs are featured on the Carlos Santana video/DVD called "Influences".

[dougpaynedotcom]

Subscript: To clarify the "three songs" reference above, this song comes from the same performance that yielded other clips found on YouTube, "Breezin" and "Concerto

de Aranjuez" (solo).

[cliffworks4321]

I'll ask Doug Payne who has a fine tribute page up on Gabor

[orlandomagic654]

what is the name of this song?

[FALCSIKMARI]

This below is just an answer for the post sent by arcface: "Thank you for the videos, he was alegend unfortunatelly in his homeland Hungary almost nobody knows who was he..."

[andibrutscher]

hola everybody..absolute great guitar..does anybody

got the spellbinder live 1972 on mp3..ciao freaks..

[cliffworks4321]

can anyone identify the band members pls? tks cliff in tokyo

[bethellodge]

The keyboardist looks like it might be George Duke.

[Odawg96]

Definitely, not heavy enough to be George Duke. I was thinking it was Donald Hepburn, but it MIGHT be Bobby Lyle.

[Odawg96]

Yeah...this the rhythm section from funk giants, PLEASURE (of "Glide" fame): Bruce Careter on drums; looks like Nate Phillips on bass; Marlon McClain on guitar; and I'm assuming that's Donald Hepburn on keys.

[cosmicillusion]

Gabor was A HUGE Influence on Carlos ! ...And way back when , his drummer used to be Jim Keltner, who later went on to be in the Traveling Wilburys With Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan, George Harrison, Tom Petty ,and Jeff Lynn ! It is too bad about Gabor that the needle ended up possessing him, because he was a real talent !

[Mimistarrett]

Gabor played with Jim Keltner and Wolfgang Melz on bass. Does anyone have any videos of this group??

[morgenKRIZ]

It's a great video from the 70's.

The another guitar player is looks like Kirk Franklin. :)

[islandcrimes]

intoxicating!

[arcface]

Thank you for the videos, he was a legend unfortunatelly in his homeland Hungary almost nobody knows who was he...

[FALCSIKMARI]

...there are some who know...

[vegyespizza]

He escaped Hungary in '56 after the anti-communist revolution, so he was a "persona non grata" for the socialist regime. But some of his music is very well know by every grown up hungarian. Those were the soundtracks of the tv show called "Képújság" which was aired two or three times a day in the eightees.

[riseredstar]

azé' én ismerem még :)

[dougpaynedotcom]

This is Gabor Szabo's "Concorde (Nightflight)", recorded for the Club Date TV program in 1977 and included as part of Carlos Santana's video "Influences".

[agh032]

Thanks again,I have the album Philly International did on him Bunny Sigler produced "Nightflight"Smooth Sailing was in the pocket

[clwphils]

Thanks for the Gabor videos. I didn't think I'd ever see any footage of him.
