About Stand Up!
Jerome Sabbagh reconvenes his longstanding quartet for the first time in more than a decade for the timely Stand Up!. With all original compositions by Sabbagh, the album features guitarist Ben Monder, bassist Joe Martin, and new addition, drummer Nasheet Waits. The album was recorded by James Farber at Power Station, direct to analog tape and mastered by Bernie Grundman.
Album Reviews
"Stand Up! is a triumph for Jerome Sabbagh and for Analog Tone Factory. It combines expressive, thoughtful jazz writing with a recording philosophy that honors the purity of acoustic performance. For audiophiles, it offers a rare chance to hear contemporary jazz captured with true-to-life realism. For music fans, it’s a richly satisfying listen from a quartet of exceptional players. The pressing itself deserves special recognition. Manufactured by Gotta Groove Records, the LP is exceptionally quiet, flat, and beautifully finished. The silent surfaces and clean execution make it even easier to appreciate the purity of the recording and the dynamics captured on tape. Highly recommended in any format — but if you can, hear it on the One-Step LP!"
- Scott Wilson, Audiophilia
"Featuring a great band led by Jerome Sabbagh, Stand Up! is not only a record of great sonics, but fundamentally a record of great ideas. The one step version makes it shine even more. Jazz is alive and moving forward!"
- Felipe Salles, Jazzbums
"The combination of compositional focus, collective musicianship, and audiophile realization makes this album a vital release. Stand Up! is the assured statement of a musician who has honed his aesthetic principles over years and now – supported by an ensemble of the highest musical intelligence – demonstrates how contemporary jazz can be deeply rooted, alive, and open at the same time. It is a work of authenticity, warmth, and clarity [...] The quartet seems so close you feel as if you can sense the air in the recording space. This becomes especially clear in the one-step pressing on 180-gram vinyl. Rarely do modern analog productions achieve such immediacy."
- Michael Haifl, Saiten Kult
"Having lived in New York for three decades, the French saxophonist has reached a rare level of maturity over the years, expressed through a lyricism that is both intense and restrained […] Immediately noticeable, from the first notes of "Lone Jack", is the modernity of this music, whose character remains nonetheless essentially timeless.”
- Pascal Rozat, Jazz Magazine (“Choc” review)
“Sabbagh writes mellow, memorable melodies rooted in blues with a slight country feel and the band plays them with patient grace. Monder is an excellent foil/co-leader."
- Phil Freeman, Stereogum
