Jerome Sabbagh Trio

The prickly nature of some pieces is actually an attraction on Sabbagh’s recent I Will Follow You. With guitar player Ben Monder rendering gnarled soundscapes and the flutters of Sabbagh’s sax taking on a darting aggression, the cumulative impact is rambunctious. And slippery: These free-form ditties are always changing, so the evening’s drummer, Paul Motian, should feel right at home.
