Jerome Sabbagh Trio featuring Billy Drummond at Smalls on August 12th
Mr. Sabbagh played with untroubled self-assurance, and his songs had a sleek and sturdy appeal. Just as crucially, his colleagues strove for the unexpected, individually and as an ensemble. [...] Mr. Sabbagh avoided direct allusions to the the saxophone totems. What he is working toward, simply and effectively, is a sincerely personal vocabulary. (Nate Chinen, New York Times)
Sabbagh shows his weight throughout with wonderful tone and harmonic genius
