"Hungarian jazz guitarist Gabor Szabo's third album for Impulse!, and his most exotic and mysterious. Szabo not only played guitar on the live-to-two-track sessions, he also overdubbed sitar on nine of the album's eleven cuts ... On what has now become Szabo's signature tune, "Mizrab" (perhaps the first truly psychedelic jazz composition), Ed Shaugnessy was added on tablas. Musically, Jazz Raga dwells in the no man's lands between jazz, psych rock, Indian, and Eastern European music ... The album received mixed reviews at the time but developed a lasting cult following. Jazz Raga is a classic for its barrier-breaking invention and startling creativity. Light in the Attic remastered it and issued it on CD in 2010. It contains a 40-page booklet with rare photos, a reprint of a Downbeat feature from 1967, an excellent essay by Doug Sheppard, and interviews with Purdie and Gregg, among others".
