John Abercrombie / Marc Johnson / Peter Erskine is a live album by jazz guitarist John Abercrombie with bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Peter Erskine that was recorded in 1988 in Boston and released by ECM Records in 1989.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Ron Wynn gave the album 4½ stars, stating, "The trio sometimes unite for piercing interpretations as on "Stella By Starlight" and other times collide and interact on furious rhythm dialogues and extended improvisations".[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz said, "Not known as a big standards player Abercrombie turns in a beautiful "Stella by Starlight" here, perfectly weighted this side of sentimentality, and an unforgettable version of the less well-known Dietz/Schwatrz "Haunted Heart". Johnson and Erskine make a convincing team"[3]

gollark: Apparently existing widely-deployed stuff is something like ~20% efficiency, which actually beats plants massively.

gollark: There are limits to how much sunlight you can get per m² anyway.

gollark: I don't think solar/wind is hugely practical for anything but off-grid-y backups because most stuff needs power *all the time*, and you need a ton of expensive batteries.

gollark: Especially compared to the greater dangers of fossil fuel power, like pollution and health issues caused because of it, and in the longer term climate change.

gollark: Even the older stuff isn't even particularly dangerous.
