An album released in 1988 by John Abercrombie, one of ECM’s most iconic guitarists known for his numerous masterpieces. This jazz-rock/crossover gem features Marc Johnson (bass), Peter Erskine (drums), and guest Michael Brecker (tenor sax). Abercrombie’s signature swirling electric guitar is in full force, but thanks to the exceptional talents of the participating musicians, the album exudes a rich, beautiful atmosphere throughout. Notably, the use of a guitar synthesizer adds a mellow and clear texture to the band’s sound, rivaling even Pat Metheny’s style. The result is a sublime New Age jazz work, with tracks like A3 and B1 standing out for their soaring, uplifting feel.
A3: Getting There
