Sahib Shihab 'Sentiments' LP
£18.99
Sahib Shihab’s career started in the late 1930’s where he would play for thelikes of Luther Henderson and Roy Eldridge while studying at the Boston Con-servatory. During the 1940’s Shihab played with many of the greats from thisperiod, including Thelonious Monk, Art Blakey, Miles Davis and many more. Especially his work with Monk proved to be important as it marked the switch from alto to baritone saxophone.
By 1963 Shihab moved to Copenhagen, Denmark, where he would play withThe Danish Radio Group. During this period he also recorded and released music under his own name, and this is where ‘Sentiments’ came to be. Senti-ments features an all-star group consisting of Shihab on soprano and baritone sax and alt flute, Kenny Drew on piano and organ, Niels-Hennig Ørsted Pe- tersen on bass and Jimmy Hopps on drums. The sheer talents of the musiciansshines through on the album, which comes across as a groovy well composedrecord where all notes and rhythms seems natural and nothing seems forced.
