Shortly after he became one of the first jazz players to change his name due to an Islamic conversion, he joined Thelonious Monk for his Blue Note sessions. He also played with Art Blakey, Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Pettiford and Quincy Jones. A unique musician, he was at home in every musical style, from the experimentalism of Thelonious Monk to the more direct hard bop of Art Blakey. Sahib Shihab’s distinctive sound was rooted in his modernist compositions and arrangements, complemented by an intense, soulful playing style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1959 he toured Europe with Quincy Jones after getting fed up with racial politics in the USA and ultimately settled in Scandinavia. He worked for Copenhagen Polytechnic and wrote scores for television, cinema and theatre. He remained there until 1973. During this period, he recorded several albums as leader for European labels such as Vogue, Storyville and Futura.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1961 he joined The Kenny Clarke-Francy Boland Big Band and remained a key figure in the band for the 12 years it ran. He married a Danish lady and raised a family in Europe, although he remained a conscious African-American still sensitive to racial issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis record, on the Danish Oktav label, his second as a leader and also his rarest, is a true masterpiece!!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eCREDITS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSahib Shihab (Baritone saxophone, Flute, Cowbell)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoul Hindberg (Alto saxophone, Clarinet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIb Renard (Baritone saxophone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBent Nielsen (Baritone saxophone, Flute, Clarinet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNiels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen (NHOP) (Bass)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlex Riel (Drums)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAllan Botschinsky (Trumpet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFritz von Bülow (Guitar)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBent Axen (Piano)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBent Jædig (Tenor saxophone, Flute)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNiels Husum (Tenor saxophone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSvend Åge Nielsen (Trombone, Bass trombone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorolf Mølgaard (Trombone, Euphonium)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalle Bolvig (Trumpet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalle Mikkelborg (Trumpet)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoul Kjældgård (Tuba)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLouis Hjulmand (Vibraphone)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTRACKLIST \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDi-Da (Sahib Shihab)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDance Of The Fakowees (Sahib Shihab)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot Yet (Sahib Shihab)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTenth Lament (Sahib Shihab)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMai Ding (Sahib Shihab)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvey’s Tune (Sahib Shihab)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo Time For Cries (Sahib Shihab)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Crosseyed Cat (Sahib Shihab)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eLISTEN\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable on Desktop \u0026amp; Mobile\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sahib Shihab \u0026 The Danish Radio Jazz Group","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Black","offer_id":45927958118591,"sku":"SRLP30-BK","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6947\/3471\/files\/3770010277187.jpg?v=1785310616","url":"https:\/\/helixsounds.com\/products\/sahib-shihab-and-the-danish-radio-jazz-group-sahib-shihab-and-the-danish-radio-jazz-group-lp","provider":"Helix Sounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
