1969 is an album by Hungarian guitarist Gábor Szabó featuring performances recorded in 1969 and released on the Skye label.Payne, D. Gábor Szabó discography accessed February 22, 2012 The album reached number 143 on the U.S. Billboard 200 in September 1969. Reception The Allmusic review states: "The Hungarian guitarist doesn't always stretch out as much as he could on this album; at times, he ends a solo that probably should have lasted a few more minutes. But Szabo still deserves credit for bringing a jazz perspective to songs that so many other improvisers were ignoring".Henderson, A. Allmusic Review accessed February 21, 2012
