After leaving Impulse at the end of the Sixties (for which he recorded such legendary albums as “Jazz Raga”, “Gypsy 66”, “Spellbinder”, “The Sorcerer” and “Simpatico” with Gary McFarland) came “Dreams”. From the opening chords of “Galatea's Guitar”, it is clear this in no ordinary jazz album. Through the seven pieces here, the guitar is naturally at the forefront, yet the backing group is anything but secondary. For this album, his quintet (featuring guitar ace Jimmy Stewart) is augmented by Gary McFarland’s fine string arrangements. The set features a nice selection of originals and pop covers. The warm tones and Eastern influences of “Dreams” makes this one of Gabor Szabo’s best albums.
Originally recorded in August 1968, this CD version has the same tracks in the same order as the original release (out of print since the early 1980s) and with a tasteful digipack sleeve and original artwork.
