The Third Quartet Poster

Guitarist John Abercrombie has been one of those ECM heritage artists over the years, helping the label define its cerebral and sometimes austere vision of creative jazz. Abercrombie's playing is clean, melodic, and subtle--he reaches beyond jazz to incorporate bits of classical, folk, blues, and rock. Here he's complemented by an amazing group--drummer Joey Baron, bassist Marc Johnson, and violinist Mark Feldman--for the third time. Though busy in a number of different contexts, the group members are wholly in sync with Abercrombie's vision, leaving plenty of space for the music to breath, prodding when it lingers, and generally adding elegant accompaniment throughout. The group is almost tango-like in its ability to build songs passionately through tasteful restraint. Of the ten tunes here, takes on Ornette Coleman's "Round Trip" and Bill Evans's "Epilogue" are telling signposts of influence, but this is a band that presses on, creating beautiful music that lives in the here and now. --Tad Hendrickson
The Third Quartet is master guitarist John Abercrombie's 25th leader recording for ECM. This third album from his current quartet with Mark Feldman, Marc Johnson and Joey Baron is the strongest yet from this band, in its seventh year of playing together. The repertoire on the new recording includes eight new tunes from Abercrombie, plus two classics of new jazz - Bill Evans's "Epilogue," and Ornette Coleman's "Round Trip."

John Abercrombie is one of the most influential guitarists in jazz history. His oeuvre on ECM not only includes his own discs, but also recordings with Charles Lloyd, Jan Garbarek, Kenny Wheeler, Jack DeJohnette and others. His band mates have also played some of the biggest names in jazz and music: Pharoah Sanders, John Zorn, Bill Frisell, Dave Douglas, Bill Evans and Johnny Cash. Each have an impressive ECM roster or recordings, including recent leader albums from Feldman and Johnson.
