Barnes & Noble - Will Meyerhofer
This CD pairs guitarist John Abercrombie with violinist Mark Feldman and rounds out the quartet with the redoubtable rhythm section of Joey Baron on drums and Marc Johnson on bass. The focus here is on the sound of strings -- bass, violin, and guitar, bowed and plucked. Abercrombie has over the past two decades made himself one of the most recognizable voices on the guitar, and he is in fine form here, with his trademark subdued intensity, fleet filigreed lines, and the ability to open up into a searing rock-style solo with a single distorted note or phrase, only to recede back into silence with a wistful shred of melody. Feldman tries just about everything available...

This CD pairs guitarist John Abercrombie with violinist Mark Feldman and rounds out the quartet with the redoubtable rhythm section of Joey Baron on drums and Marc Johnson on bass. The focus here is on the sound of strings -- bass, violin, and guitar, bowed and plucked. Abercrombie has over the past two decades made himself one of the most recognizable voices on the guitar, and he is in fine form here, with his trademark subdued intensity, fleet filigreed lines, and the ability to open up into a searing rock-style solo with a single distorted note or phrase, only to recede back into silence with a wistful shred of melody. Feldman tries just about everything available to him on his instrument, from romantic passages with heavy vibrato reminiscent of European salon music to biting, astringent double-stops on the high register. The mood on the disc varies from “String Thing” -- a dreamy collage of bowed notes, plucked bass, and acoustic guitar set amid a wash of brushed cymbals -- to “On the Loose,” which opens with a funky, shuffling beat on Baron’s drum set for an immaculate solo by Abercrombie, then switches to a double-time swing rhythm for Feldman’s fast-paced, intense response. In general, the feeling is loose and improvisatory, whether the music is wistful and understated or fast, bright, and driving. This is an ambitious set, with moments of transcendental beauty and some standout solo work by Abercrombie and Feldman.
Entertainment Weekly
Abercrombie has cooked up an unpredictable quartet session that darts skillfully from chamber-music delicacy to probing free-jazz.

    great Abercrombie CD

    much to my suprise, Abercrombie has put together a group that includes a violin, giving a couple of the selections a distinctly Mahavishnu Orchestra sound, which I personally love. In fact the combination of instruments reminds me of a refreshing take on My Goals Beyond, ''peace 1&2'' . Really a beautiful album, and quite different from the organ/synth, drummer combo that I've enjoyed over the years. But aside from the Mahavishnu sound, the rest of the album reminds me a lot of Bill Frisell's soft, fat, rural brass band sound (thanks to Kenny Wheeler and Joe Lovano), very New Orleans, that is so steeped in a very ''ancient'' form of american blues, that literally any trajectory that Abercrombie's fluid style takes, it's right inside. SUPER........
