Larry Coryell / Assad,Badi / Abercrombie,John- Three Guitars (Hybr)
Beautifully recorded in late 2002 in New York's St. Peter's Episcopal Church, Three Guitars is a must-hear summit meeting between three extraordinary fretboard masters: Larry Coryell, Badi Assad - then a rising star of the Brazilian music scene - and John Abercrombie. Despite their differences in age, nationality, genre, gender, and musical sensibility, the three musicians found common ground in what Coryell described as a "unique intersection of creativity." Coryell and Abercrombie, pioneers of electric jazz fusion in the '70s, play steel-stringed acoustic guitars, which contrast with Assad's nylon-stringed classical guitar. The multi-talented Brazilian also contributed vocals and made percussion noises using her mouth and body. Highlights include Coryell's 'No Flight Tonite, ' Abercrombie's 'Timeless' and Assad's 'After The Rain.' Available for the first time since 2005, Three Guitars is reissued on 180gram One Step Pressing LP and SACD Hybrid Stereo.
