Gabor Szabo’s Faces, recorded for Mercury in 1977, is a distinctly jazz-fusion album. It was produced by trombonist and former Crusaders member Wayne Henderson, with the rhythm section coming from the soul-jazz-funk band Pleasure, with whom Henderson was working for the Fantasy label at the time. Built on gripping rough funk grooves, the music leaves plenty of room for Szabó’s elegant guitar lines and meticulously constructed solos. The album, which was rather neglected when it was released, can today almost be considered a classic of the jazz-fusion genre.
