John Abercrombie

 I just recently became aware of him via The Plot record by Enrico Rava. I look forward to getting into his discography. His style is kinda of an airy, kinda trippy, minimalist jazzy otherworldly deal but still swings. At last it is on the above session for the ECM label.

Wow! You guys know your guitarists. No one mentioned my favorite artist of all: MASON WILLIAMS. No one here will surely care for him over all. That's an odd fact for a man who wrote Classical Gas; the most played instrumental piece ever.  I've been collecting his work for 40 years now. Joe
