Jerome Sabbagh Trio

I Remember Youplay
composed by Victor Schertzinger

This tune was recorded live at La Lanterna on July 22, 2005. I've always loved to play standards in a trio setting and it's particularly fun to do with musicians as amazing as Ben and Eric. I hope to play more with this band in the future.

Flipside

Narguile Tripplay
composed by Greg Tuohey

This track is from an unreleased studio recording. Flipside was together for five years, during which we recorded an album for Naxos Jazz and played a lot together. Most of my favorite music in jazz has been played by actual bands, bands that were able to develop organically by playing regularly over a period of time. It's what we were trying to do with Flipside and it is still what I am striving for with my current quartet. I have had many great moments with Flipside, musically and otherwise, and we are all close friends to this day.

Greg now plays guitar and writes songs for Seems So Bright.

Guillermo Klein and Los Guachos

Juanaplay
composed by Guillermo Klein

Juana was recorded live at the Jazz Standard in New York on June 26, 2000. Guillermo played there every Monday for a while and although I wasn't officially in the band, I played that gig a lot, subbing alternatively for Chris Cheek, Bill McHenry, Miguel Zenon or even once, one of the trumpet players, on soprano sax! It was a thrill to be playing with Los Guachos since I really love Guillermo's music and had heard the band many times before. The music and the vibe on stage were incredible and I feel very privileged to have been a part of it.

Guillermo has great CDs out on Sunnyside.

Improvised Music

There is something exciting and unique about playing in a particular setting for the first time, perhaps especially so if you are playing entirely improvised music. A few years ago, while sharing an apartment, pianist Pete Rende and I decided to borrow some recording equipment and document different projects. Our house turned into a home studio for three hot summer days and I put together a entirely improvised session with some of my favorite players. I knew and had played with each of them individually but they had never played with each other. I am quite happy with the way some of the session turned out.

Laurent Coq Quartet

Staten Islandplay
composed by Laurent Coq

Laurent Coq's quartet is one of the projects I have been most involved with recently. The band has been together since 2001. This track was recorded live in Paris, in October 2003, during a tour we did after recording Like A Tree In The City. Laurent's compositions are exacting yet very organic and it's been a great experience for me to find my own voice within them. It's also been truly rewarding to feel the band grow, to see us all trust each other more and more to the point where we can go on stage and, on a good night, feel very free as individual players, yet always develop a unique band sound.
