Description

Released in 1967, “Jazz Raga” is a hypnotic fusion of jazz, rock, psychedelic folk, and Eastern influences. Gábor Szabó, the Hungarian jazz guitarist known for his boundary-pushing style, delivers one of the most captivating records of his career with sitar-laced melodies.
 
From the dreamy groove of ‘Walking On Nails’ to the swirling mysticism of ‘Mizrab,’ and his hauntingly original take on the Rolling Stones’ ‘Paint It Black,’ “Jazz Raga” is a hypnotic fusion where European tradition meets the counterculture spirit of the '60s.
 
180g vinyl reissue.

Blending jazz, rock, psychedelic folk, and Eastern influences—with sitar-laced melodies and Latin-infused rhythms courtesy of legendary funky drummer Bernard Purdie—"Jazz Raga” defies categorization. It’s a hypnotic fusion where European tradition meets the counterculture spirit of the '60s, all woven together by Szabó’s unmistakable guitar tone.
 
From the dreamy groove of ‘Walking On Nails’ to the swirling mysticism of ‘Mizrab,’ and his hauntingly original take on the Rolling Stones’ ‘Paint It Black,’ Szabó creates a sonic landscape that is both daring and deeply soulful. His playing here is electric—full of offbeat chords, flowing improvisations, and a voice all his own.
 
Decades later, “Jazz Raga” still stands as a landmark of creative freedom and global influence—a must-hear for anyone seeking music that transcends borders and expectations. If you haven’t experienced this cult classic yet, now’s the time to let Gábor Szabó expand your musical horizons.
