In 1998, the D’Addario Company hired four respected jazz veterans -- Bob Mintzer (tenor sax), John Abercrombie (electric guitar), John Patitucci (acoustic and electric basses) and Peter Erskine (drums) -- to conduct a series of concerts/clinics together.

Guitarist John Abercrombie got his start three decades ago in Johnny “Hammond" Smith's organ combo. But since then, he's shown he's anything but a stereotypical chord cruncher or fatback slinger. He's ...
