“The chemistry between the four incredibly versatile, open-minded musicians borders on telepathic"--All About Jazz, New York
The most recent recording by John Abercrombie's exceptional quartet with Mark Feldman, Marc Johnson and Joey Baron is issued in the 33rd year of his association with ECM. A lot of music has flowed, in many contexts, since 1974, but Abercrombie's priorities have remained unchanged. Abercrombie still sees himself as a player in the jazz guitar tradition of Wes Montgomery and Jim Hall. He remains committed to improvisation influenced by both the eruptive melodic invention of Ornette Coleman and the lyrical sensitivity of Bill Evans. He still writes highly distinctive material for his colleagues and grants them a great deal of room for expression inside it. As violinist Mark Feldman recently remarked to All About Jazz, this interpretive freedom, gratefully accepted by the band, results in the most committed performances. Joey Baron has put it more simply: “Every night is a blast".
