Description
One of the world’s most admired guitarists, John Abercrombie makes music that’s as likely to whisper as it is to scream. He was a pioneer of late ‘60s fusion and has since become a composer known for transparent textures and open-ended forms. Revered by fellow guitar masters Bill Frisell, John Scofield and Mike Stern, Abercrombie has been at the center of revelatory bands from the audacious Gateway trio (with giants Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette) to his nimble organ combo featuring Dan Wall and Adam Nussbaum. His latest group with Mark Feldman, Drew Gress and Joey Baron is perhaps his most lyrical, combining a chamber ensemble’s dynamic control with post-bop’s improvisational imperative. Their adventures have been well documented on three astonishing ECM albums, including The Third Quartet in 2007.
