Gábor Szabó (March 8, 1936 - February 26, 1982) was a Hungarian jazz guitarist, famous for mixing jazz, pop-rock and his native Hungarian music.

My favourite albums by him are:

Anyone else heard his stuff?

I've heard a fair amount of his music over the years -- very good musician.   I thought he was in the archives for some reason (since he isn't, this should be moved and I coulkd move to Suggest New Bands or General Music Discussions -- choosing the former).  I really like Bacchanal (this track is very good, I think).

I actually prefer the Dreams album. The first track on that is just amazing. Bacchanal is very good too.

I've heard some of his albums.  Like many, I suppose, I became interested due to Santana's version of Gypsy Queen.  As said, I've not heard it all, but a big Smile for what I have heard.
Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

Sounds like a possible case for Proto-Prog. Would you support this suggestion for the Admin Team, Greg?

I have the album 'high contrast'. it's rather smoothy latin jazz and I like it very much.
