		Guitarist John Abercrombie has recorded dozens of albums in varying configurations, but "Current Events" is one of his very best.
		With the top-notch accompaniment of Marc Johnson on bass and Peter Erskine on drums, Abercrombie often sounds like a guitar player plus a keyboardist here, but the synth-tones he's using on this album are warm and organic-sounding, unlike the more tart, puckered flavors that have infiltrated his playing in recent years.
		John Scofield has been able to package himself more successfully, but is not nearly as versatile or lyrical a player; Bill Frisell is brilliant, but Abercrombie has maintained a standard of outright beauty across an astonishing range of music that none of his peers can touch.

	Brian Moore Guitars - John Abercrombie Artist Bio

		John Abercrombie's "organ trio", now on its third album for ECM, is regarded by its leader as the optimum vehicle for addressing all of his history, from the "roots" onwards.
		This recording is the first live Abercrombie album on ECM in almost a decade.

		Guitarist Abercrombie has shuffled and reduced the personnel from 1999’s Open Land, but he’s maintained the open structures and collectively improvised feel of that album and, most important, has retained violinist Mark Feldman as a complementary lead voice.
		On "String Thing," Abercrombie and Feldman accompany each other on a vaguely folkloric Middle Eastern minor-key theme; Feldman becomes more agitated and then settles into a melody of spare, Renaissance-like vibratoless polyphony with the guitar and bass.
		But Abercrombie, who can draw on the entire history of his instrument in the space of a few bars, has found a perfect partner in Feldman, who can do likewise with his.

	John Abercrombie \| Class Trip (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Guitarist John Abercrombie’s last record, 2002’s Cat ‘n’ Mouse, as good as it was, was as much an announcement, a promise, a consolidation and move in a new direction that was hinted at by 1999’s Open Land.
		Abercrombie’s roadmaps provide a modicum of direction, but it is where the group takes them that is the real magic.
		Indicative of Abercrombie’s writing style throughout the album, simple motifs provide a place from which to come and go, imposing a lyrical compositional compass that gives each piece a centre not usually found in free improvisation.

	John Abercrombie: Cat 'n' Mouse - PopMatters Music Review
		Sometimes the description fits, but in the case of Abercrombie and his accomplices (violinist Mark Feldman, drummer Joey Baron, and bassist Marc Johnson), the intimate tone belies the fierce swinging and forays into free jazz that are the group's stock in trade.
		For example, listen to the abstractions traded by Abercrombie and Feldman on "Third Stream Samba", so named because it reminded Abercrombie of some of the original "third stream" music, integrating jazz and classical music, written in the early '60s.
		Abercrombie composed "Soundtrack" on piano and considers it a somewhat cinematic piece.

		While choosing material for a 30-year retrospective of his recordings for the ECM label, John Abercrombie found himself faced with a daunting number of options.
		The result is Selected Recordings: Rarum XIV [ECM], a more-or-less linear compilation touching on nearly every major period of Abercrombie’s illustrious career, from his critically acclaimed 1974 debut, Timeless, to the 2002 John Abercrombie Quartet release, Cat ‘n’ Mouse.
		The John Abercrombie Quartet’s uncanny intuitive interplay is more evident than ever on its sophomore CD, Class Trip [ECM], as Abercrombie, violinist Mark Feldman, drummer Joey Baron, and bassist Marc Johnson infuse Abercrombie’s harmonically complex tunes with an introspective yet kinetic wonder.

		On this record, Abercrombie teams up with a young Brazilian guitarist/flautist/vocalist named Badi Assad and Coryell himself, who made his name playing on archetypal early fusion albums in the '70s, and went on to play more straightahead fare in later years, with an unmistakable stinging attack and verve for gutsy lines.
		Abercrombie's pieces (which are all songs he has played in other settings) all have a very airy impressionistic feel.
		It is especially nice to hear the mostly electric John Abercrombie again dust off his acoustic and a couple of his better compositions.

	* Dusted Reviews - John Abercrombie *
		With his darkly-burnished tone and the spiky, yet lyrical, construction of his melodic lines, John Abercrombie has been consistently one of the most interesting and subtly surprising of the post-Bitches Brew rock-inflected jazz guitarists.
		His large and varied body of work on ECM reveals an artist with an organic, perhaps even geological, approach to composition and improvisation: There’s a satisfying inevitability to the way his phrasing, his approach to harmony, and his tonal touch work to create a metamorphic musical expression.
		Abercrombie himself plays like quicksilver; his ever-so-slightly-distorted lines and his chordal comping are so smooth and perfectly-conceived that it takes a few listens to recognize the thrilling beauty at the heart of his playing.
