Neste album, Gabor Szabo faz uma ambiciosa reuião entre o seu fabuloso quinteto (incluindo Jimmy Stewart) com os arranjos de cordas e sopros subtis de Gary McFarland, numa colecção de covers pop e reinterpretações clássicas. O resultado é um género de música third-stream acessível, com vários momentos preciosos de Szabo, e espaço para os solos belíssimos de Jimmy Stewart.

"Gabor Szabo may not have been as much of a household name as his jazz guitar counterparts (Grant Green & Wes Montgomery), but the Hungarian guitarist was a incredibly skilled player that posessed unmatched versatility. After starting his career as a member of the ever evolving Chico Hamilton Quintet in the early 60s, Szabo turned to Indian, Latin and psychedelic rock fusion to craft his jazz recordings as band leader on the adventurous Impulse label.
However, Szabo craved more artistic freedom and along with latin vibraphonist Cal Tjader and labelmate Gary MacFarland, he co-founded Skye Records in 1969. Propelled by MacFarland’s vibrant arrangements, Gabor was able to release the album he always envisionned the aptly titled Dreams." - Music Is My Sanctuary
"In 1966, he quit a prestigious gig at Impulse to set about forming Skye Records with Cal Tjader and Gary McFarland. It still took another three years before work began on his masterpiece in 1966.
It was wildly ambitious in scope. A hint to the inspiration for the material is the title Dreams. There’s a delightful hush to the whole thing even though the compositions stray far and wide from the peace at its mellow core. Szabo lets his incredible band express themselves individually and only occasionally weighs in with his distinctive solos.
Although there are many disparate elements, the album was conceived as a whole and it begs repeat listening, so addictive are its charms. There’s an ethereal atmosphere to most of it as if Szabo was tapping into the pre-cognitive feeling for music that can blossom into such magical thinking later on.
It rises and falls like the wind in an expertly measured elemental fashion. The transcendent moments are divine but it does not lack for power or groove either. With its equally beguiling cover it’s a mystery this record disappeared.
Tragically, it mirrors Szabo’s sad demise who died aged 46 after a long battle with drug addiction. Luckily for us, he captured his reveries in time and bequeathed us an everlasting gift of true grace and beauty." - Donal Dineen, Irish Times
