Gabor Szabo – Bacchanal

One of the lesser-known treasures in Gábor Szabó’s discography, Bacchanal is a hypnotic dive into the psychedelic and jazz-infused world of the Hungarian guitarist.

Released in 1968, the album masterfully blends modal jazz, psychedelic rock, and traditional Eastern European music. With unique interpretations of Donovan’s “Three King Fishers” and “Sunshine Superman”, Bacchanal draws the listener into a richly textured sonic landscape, where Szabó’s unmistakable guitar tone – melodic, ethereal, almost trance-like – shines throughout.
