Originally released on Impulse! Records and now part of the Verve Vault series, the album captures Szabó refining a deeply personal approach built on vamp-led structures, droning harmonies and a sitar-like guitar articulation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s Englewood Cliffs studio and produced by Bob Thiele, Spellbinder places Szabó in a fluid quintet with bassist Ron Carter, drummer Chico Hamilton and percussionists Willie Bobo and Victor Pantoja. Together, they create a mesmeric interplay of rhythm and restraint, where repetition becomes a source of momentum rather than limitation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title track unfolds as a slow-burning groove that highlights Szabó’s minimalist phrasing and rhythmic intuition, while his reworking of Sonny Bono’s ‘Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)’ transforms the pop ballad into a shadowy modal meditation. Throughout, Spellbinder blurs the boundaries between jazz improvisation and global rhythm, pointing toward a broader musical language that would define Szabó’s legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003c!-- Genres --\u003e\n    \n      \u003cp\u003eGenre: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gabor-szabo-vinyl-records\"\u003eGabor Szabo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Impulse!, UMe, Verve Records\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_worldwide\"\u003eWorldwide\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/jazz-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eJazz\u003c\/a\u003e\n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \n            \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/latin-jazz\"\u003eLatin Jazz\u003c\/a\u003e\n          \n        \u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Tracklist tab content --\u003e\n  \n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eA1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gabor+Szabo+Spellbinder\"\u003eSpellbinder\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gabor+Szabo+Witchcraft\"\u003eWitchcraft\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gabor+Szabo+It+Was+A+Very+Good+Year\"\u003eIt Was A Very Good Year\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gabor+Szabo+Gypsy+Queen\"\u003eGypsy Queen\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB1 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gabor+Szabo+Bang+Bang+(My+Baby+Shot+Me+Down)\"\u003eBang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB2 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gabor+Szabo+Cheetah\"\u003eCheetah\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB3 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gabor+Szabo+My+Foolish+Heart\"\u003eMy Foolish Heart\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB4 \u003ca rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/results?search_query=Gabor+Szabo+Yearning\"\u003eYearning\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003eB5a Autumn Leaves\u003cbr\u003eB5b Speak To Me Of Love\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n  \n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n","brand":"Impulse!, UMe, Verve Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43284923646017,"sku":"9573467","price":52.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1474\/5258\/files\/verlp98486__76640_af6232e7-470b-4006-9189-54a0dec685b5.jpg?v=1772109739","url":"https:\/\/www.dutchvinyl.com.au\/products\/gabor-szabo-spellbinder-verve-vault-series-349352","provider":"Dutch Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
