Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

1978 Original. Appears Glossy, NM-. “Always Unique And Uncompromising, John Abercrombie Gained A Good Deal Of His Popularity From His Solo Playing. Not The Virtuoso Of His Primary Influences -- Django Reinhardt, Tal Farlow And Jim Hall -- Abercrombie Is Much More The Introvert. He Often Bypasses Traditional Techniques To Pursue Experimental Sounds And Rhythms. Along With Ralph Towner, Whom He Has Recorded With Before (See Sargasso Sea), Abercrombie Makes Excellent Use Of Space Within Both His Compositions And Solos. Upon The First Listen There May Not Appear To Be Very Much Here; However, This Music Needs To Be Absorbed Over Several Listens To Appreciate Abercrombie's Brilliance.” Robert Taylor, All Music Guide.
