| the Abercrombie Quartet manages to combine an extraordinary lyric gracefulness and a lithe, serpentine sense of rhythm with much fire. The American guitarist has always been, by his own account, both a `traditionalist and a free player`. The same can be claimed of is colleagues here who share a strong sense for form also while improvising together. Abercrombie: The free improvs sound more like chamber music rather than free jazz now: not only a reflection on the emphasis on strings - guitar, violin, bass - but also of the advanced harmonic awareness of all the bandmembers |
