Peter Green/Gabor Szabo/Santana

[Alan Olson]

I have just recently discovered the Jazz guitarist Gabor Szabo.
The connection that Santana has with Gabor is Gabor's song Gypsy Queen.
Santana coveres Peter's Black Magic Woman and coveres Gabor's Gypsy Queen and put them together as Black Magic Woman\Gypsy Queen.
Some of Peters solo stuff in the late 70's-early 80's reminds me Gabor.

Does anybody here know if Peter ever met or played with Gabor Szabo?
Thanks,
-Al

I've never heard of or found anything about Peter Green meeting or playing with Gabor Szabo, but I am a fan of both as well as at least some of the Santana lineups and alumni. I have a huge vintage magazine collection and nothing has turned up in them (Beat Instrumental etc.) I think I have all the Szabo LPs now including the Chico Hamilton ones he played on; some really fantastic explorations!
