Urged by Hamilton, Szabo crafted a most distinctive sound; as agile on intricate, nearly-free runs as he was able to sound inspired during melodic passages.

Szabo biographer Károly Libisch considers the year 1969 a \"turning point\" for the guitarist. The spell Szabo weaved in the press was beginning to wane. The blizzard of coverage he generated in the previous few years began to trickle off. Perhaps the rise of rock and rock-guitar heroes - tamped down the guitarist's exotic allure and faddish charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThen, too, Szabo's erratic behavior started attracting poor notice and hastened the demise of his storied quintet, featuring guitarist \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJimmy Stewart\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and percussionist \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHal Gordon\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, in late 1968.

Several more of Szabo's concert recordings have surfaced in the intervening years, including this one, superbly captured for radio broadcast live in 1976 at the 600-seat \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAgora Ballroom\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e in Cleveland, Ohio. It is a revelation. There is a sense here that concert patrons may have been hearing an altogether different Gabor Szabo than record buyers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor one thing, Szabo is heard fronting what is likely his own group, rather than an army of studio musicians. In 1976, Szabo was leading a tremendous quartet with \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Cables\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e (or \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoanne Grauer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e) on piano, \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTony Dumas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e on bass and \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSherman Ferguson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e on drums. Szabo had not had a band with this much jazz clout since his famed quartet with \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJimmy Stewart\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e in 1967-68 - and it is a union worth savoring: Szabo's records during this period were light, at best, on jazz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's unclear if any of these musicians are on the Agora date, but as Dumas's \"\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIt Happens\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\" opens the program, it's a good bet, at least, that the bassist is on board here. But as Szabo's '76 quartet is not known to have recorded a studio record, Live in Cleveland is the closest thing to what a mid-seventies Szabo jazz album would sound like. Gone, are the strings, vocals, and concessions to commercial consideration so prevalent on so many of Szabo's studio records at the time. What is present, though, is fine craftsmanship, tremendous interplay, and the exciting improvisation that good jazz always yields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular concert was part of \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSansui's \"New World of Jazz,\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e a series of 13-hour-long jazz concerts recorded at Cleveland's iconic Agora Ballroom and broadcast over 40 FM radio stations.

Sansui was promoting its matrix QS 4-channel sound system \"“ offering, what was considered at the time, superior diagonal separation and stereo compatibility. The firm, partnering with Agora Ballroom and Agency Recording Studio owner Hank LoConti (1929-2014), was looking to take advantage of what they rightly felt was the then-current jazz renaissance. Each show's 16-track master tape was mixed through the Sansui QS 4-channel encoder,\" according to an August 1976 Billboard article detailing the arrangement, \"for distribution to the 40 FM stations throughout the United States that bought the series\" - allowing for three commercial spots for local dealers to advertise.''\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recording is available for the first time on VINYL.
