John Abercrombie-While We’re Young


While We’re Young

Personnel:
John Abercrombie (guitar)
Dan Wall (Hammond organ)
Adam Nussbaum (drums)

Recorded at Power Station, New York, New York in June 1992.

This is the first of John Abercrombie's albums with Dan Wall and Adam Nussbaum, trio or otherwise, and it's a beauty. This is a smouldering, brooding album of fine, fine music; both composed and improvised. The music is, of course, always paramount. John Abercrombie wouldn't know how to disappoint in this department. He is an outstanding composer. Having said that, one of my favourites on this album is 'Carol's Carol', a great tune by Dan Wall!
