Profile: French saxophonist, born in 1973.

Jerome Sabbagh has pleasing and mellow tones on tenor and soprano. Most of Pogo is a quiet recording, one in which the solos and ensembles are thoughtful and laid-back rather than exciting.

Jerome Sabbagh: Pogo. Published July 1, 2007April 25, 2019 – By Owen Cordle. Sabbagh, who was born in Paris and moved to the United States at age 20 to study at Berklee, is a refreshing, cliché-free young tenor and soprano saxophonist. In this, his second album as a leader and one including only his compositions, he creates moods as well as lines and spaces. There’s a lot of rhythmic freedom and dynamic rise and fall within the ensemble, a quartet with guitarist Ben Monder, bassist Joe Martin and drummer Ted Poor.
