John Abercrombie has been one of my favorite guitarist for many years. John has a special lyrical style that is especially haunting and soulful. I had not been able to hear him live until recently, when he visited Old Dominion University for a special week of concerts and classes. I was fortunate enough to have dinner with John and listen to him speak of some interesting times during his musical career. This album is dedicated to John and that special night when he took me away to that wonderful place in "Abercrombieland" Thanks, John. .................eddie williams
