John Abercrombie Quartet: 39 Steps (http://ecmrecords.com/Catalogue/ECM/2300/2334.php) John Abercrombies revised quartet provides Marc Copland with his first appearance on ECM. Yet guitarist and pianist are old allies, with an association stretching back forty years. In the early 1970s both were members of Chico Hamiltons quartet, and at the dawn of fusion both played with pioneering jazz-rock band Dreams. Since the late 1990s theyve revived their partnership in diverse contexts and have toured in formations ranging from piano-guitar duo to trio with Kenny Wheeler to the cooperative group Contact with Dave Liebman and Billy Hart. For much of the last decade Abercrombie and Copland have also each had bassist Drew Gress as a regular member of their respective bands so 39 Steps draws on a network of trusted relationships. Jazz ballads and lyricism predominate on this disc with six tunes from Abercrombies pen, two Copland tunes, one collective improvisation, and a creative deconstruction of the old standard Melancholy Baby. The album produced by Manfred E icher at New Yorks Avatar Studio in April 2013 is issued in time for a European tour by the quartet with concerts in France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Poland, Hungary and Macedonia.
