{"product_id":"2xhdst1126-sentiments","title":"Sentiments","description":"\u003cp\u003eSentiments, the seminal 1972 album from hard bop saxophonist and flautist, Sahib Shihad - finds him exploring African rhythm and funk music as jazz moved towards fusion. The all-star band features Shihad on Saxes and Flute, Kenny Drew on Piano and Organ, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen on Upright and Electric Bass, and Jimmy Hopps on Drums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"One very hot day in Tunis, while riding a bus on the way to Sfax, two Tunisians began to sing a melody to the accompaniment of a drum. The rhythm played by the drummer was fascinating. Not having a workable knowledge of the western metric system, he couldn’t tell me the time value, so I subdivided and came up with 14\/8, or two time 7\/4. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a result, MA’NEE: which is Urdu for meaning. This piece is also my conception of the bus ride in Tunis. The melody the Tunisians were singing was a folk melody, Bedouin in nature, combined with the rhythm of the drums, was soulfully Tunisian, but the melody you will hear is mine. For another form of expres- sion, the ad-lib choruses are played in 4\/4. Soprano sax, Piano, Bass, in that order. The drums captured the idea of the bus ride remarkably well I thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE CALL\u003cbr\u003eA simple melody in 5\/4 begins with a chant of eastern flavor. After the ad-lib choruses, the rhythm developes into free-form. Concerning the soloist, Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen should take the most of the bows. The mood in free-form is interrupted by the chant, and the melody stated in the beginning, is heard again, then we fade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRUE DE LA HARPE\u003cbr\u003eThis is a very small street in the Latin Quarter in Paris. While working the Chat-quePeche, a drummer asked me one night if he could sit in. I agreed and he was a gas. His name, Jimmy Hopps. I found his drumming very inspiring. He was fresh, and full of fire. He also inspired me in the direction of this album. I hope we hear more of him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSENTIMENTS\u003cbr\u003eAn idea which we did not thoroughly pursue, combining Jazz \u0026amp; Beat, here we touched on the sound of organ and fender bass. The high point of the piece is the drumming of Jimmy Hopps. Versatile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFROM ME TO YOU\u003cbr\u003eHere we introduce the sound of the Baritone sax. After the initial melody chorus, there is an ad-lib solo by the sax, followed by an ad-lib bass solo. Wonderful bass playing by Niels-Henning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEXTASE\u003cbr\u003eA beautiful ballad composed and written by Kenny Drew. The applause are his for his contribution, musically and personally. There is also very good back-up by N.-H. Ø. P. bass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCOMPANIONSHIP\u003cbr\u003eA collaboration between Alto flute, heard for the only time in this album, and the bass of Niels-Henning. Here we have also percussive bells, played by Kenny, and, of course, the drumming of Hopps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the mood of the piece is established, there is a conversation between flute and bass, following a vamp by the bass. There are moments of humming flute, after which there is a return to the main theme, and again we fade. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI wish to thank personally, all those responsible for making this album possible, and my sincerest thanks to the wonderful musicians appearing forthwith.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy greatest wish is that you will have many moments of pleasure listening to this album, as we, the musicians, enjoyed making it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Sahib Shihab\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2xHD - Storyville","offers":[{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739228123460,"sku":"2XHDST1126-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739228156228,"sku":"2XHDST1126-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739228188996,"sku":"2XHDST1126-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739228221764,"sku":"2XHDST1126-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57310355456324,"sku":"2XHDST1126-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/2XHDST1126.jpg?v=1790509542","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/2xhdst1126-sentiments","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
