John Abercrombie January 5, 2007

Combining extraordinary lyric gracefulness and a lithe, serpentine sense of rhythm into a fresh perspective on the meaning of freedom and interplay in and out of the jazz tradition, guitarist John Abercrombie's star-studded quartet has become the most consistently exciting and creative unit the guitarist has led in the course of his thirty year career. Clarinetist Don Byron, Down Beat's "Jazz Artist of the Year" redefines every genre of music he plays, from funk and salsa to classical and klezmer, and any jazz style from swing and bop to cutting-edge improvisation. Drummer Lenny White of Miles Davis and Return to Forever fame, has put together a dynamic new group that has ample ability to groove and burn as he showcases his skills as a leader.
