John Abercrombie Quartet,Kenny Wheeler/Austria 2001

Abercrombie’s Organ Trio, which has been around since 1992, features the same members as his representative masterpiece “Open Land,” in which Mark Feldman and Kenny Wheeler participated as guests, and they performed a wonderful piece that mainly focused on songs from the same work. A rare masterpiece appears! ! The trio that began in 1992 includes John Abercrombie, Dan Wall on organ, Adam Nussbaum on drums, Mark Feldman on violin, and Kenny Wheeler on trumpet/Bruegelhorn, although they did not participate in the actual performance. 2001 8 is a wonderful live performance in which saxophonist Joe Lovano participated in the production and further evolved one of Abercrombie’s masterpieces, “Open Land”, released in 1999 by ECM, with the same participating members. A taiko version of the Saalfelden International Jazz Festival performance held in Austria on August 26th has arrived, with a complete recording of 70 minutes on a super high-quality stereo soundboard that has been carefully mastered by the label! ! In this performance, 5 songs were performed from a total of 9 songs recorded in the studio work (8 songs are Abercrombie’s works except for one song), but compared to the studio work, which was 9 songs and 65 minutes, this live performance The four songs will last 70 minutes, and will feature plenty of improvisation from Abercrombie and other masters, allowing you to enjoy the masterpieces that only a live performance can offer. Abercrombie played an important role in pushing jazz guitar into the contemporary field, and despite his novelty and challenges, his simple organ trio composition was a wonderful example of improvisation that directly conveyed his musical perspective and voice. The series is filled with the essence of Abercrombie’s playing as a jazz guitarist. In addition, Wall and Nussbaum, who have been co-starring for many years, never get intrusive, but the exquisite silver play that makes you tap your knees and say, “This is it!” is powerful, but two specialists who give new life to this trio are powerful . Master Wheeler, who boasts an overwhelming presence, has a dramatic and elegant performance, and is the heart of this group, with a variety of musical expressions such as jazz, classical, avant-garde, and country, and has produced many masterpieces including ECM. Feldman, who plays the remaining violin, is superb. The aesthetic songs are serious progressive music, and the nostalgic and melancholy numbers are reminiscent of the performances of Astor Piazzolla’s specialist group, making this group special with literally a variety of musical expressions.
