Sahib Shihab - Sentiments (vinyl to FLAC rip)

I can think of no higher praise for this album other than to say that more than one person when hearing this "blind" at my house was convinced it was an unknown Roland Kirk album. Now in MY world that is high praise indeed!

Was anyone more lastingly 'touched' by their association with Monk than Sahib Shihab? He always maintained a quirky edge, a 'different' slant that seemed to have it's genesis in his participation in the Blue Note Monk sessions.

On this session it is very clear that our ex-patriot jazzmen had their ears wide open to what was happening here and were making albums of equal depth that would have played well here in the States if we had only known...

    Thanks for this rarity, KingCake.... the US's loss was Europe's gain. He made some great recordings over here.

    I'm loving this one KC. Had a head full of the Steve Lacy just posted over at Different Perspectives ("The Rent" with "Shuffle Boil") so the suggested Monk touch seems spot on, especially on the theme to the first track ("Ma'nee"). Big Thanks

    Hey KC, I share your enthusiasm for Shibab and this is one I am not familiar with. Thank you!

    Man this looks heavy!! Storyville was such a great label with an amazing range of styles - possibly one of the most balanced looks at jazz when considering labels like Blue Note. I am not familiar with the drummer but if he can keep up to Drew and NHOP, he must be good. Thanks for this one...

    Much appreciated, kc! Thanks for pointing out the Monk influence -- it seems so obvious, but I'd never connected those dots before. I'm very happy to hear this again with fresh ears -- most of my Shihab rips from the early days of the jazzblogs have been lost to digital oblivion, so I'm starting from scratch again. Thank you for this one!!
