Description
“A rising figure on the New York jazz scene, French-born tenor saxophonist Jerome Sabbagh leads a taut quartet through lyrical originals and a lone cover in the late Paul Motian's "Once Around the Park." Sabbagh's consistently inventive tone pairs well with the quartet's driving rhythms, and guitarist Ben Monder remains an underrated gem as his shape-shifting tone ventures into gruff, rock-fueled textures.” Chris Barton, Los Angeles Times, best jazz albums of 2014

Their story:
The Jerome Sabbagh Quartet has been together since 2004 and plays modern, organic music that can appeal to listeners beyond the traditional jazz audience as well as regular jazz fans. Jerome Sabbagh seeks directness above all in his writing and likes his compositions to sound like actual songs. The quartet has recorded three critically acclaimed albums, North (Fresh Sound New Talent), Pogo (Sunnyside) and The Turn (Sunnyside).
In Ben Monder (guitar), Joe Martin (bass) and Ted Poor (drums), Jerome Sabbagh has found some of the most talented musicians of this generation and like-minded accomplices. Ben Monder plays “nearly unsurpassable jazz guitar” (Ben Ratliff, New York Times) and has performed with a variety of artists, including Lee Konitz, Paul Motian, Tim Berne and Jack McDuff. He has appeared in over 130 CDs as a sideman and has six as a leader. Known for his warm sound, facile ear, and harmonic flexibility, bassist Joe Martin has performed with a wide variety of artists, which includes Kurt Rosenwinkel, Chris Potter, Andy Bey, Mark Turner and Art Farmer. Ted Poor has an uncanny ability to shape the music and a refreshingly unique, organic approach to playing the drums. He has been increasingly in demand in today's jazz scene and plays with Kurt Rosenwinkel, Aaron Parks, Donny McCaslin, Cuong Vu and Chris Potter.
