I wish there was a lot more footage like this around. Anything with Richie Beirach is worth checing out.

Back in the 80's I sent the VHS recording of this concert to John Abercrombie as he, himself, enjoyed the group's playing very much... I was there...what a a great concert.

Thanks

I liked Abercrombie with a pick. This era in his career was dealin'.

[unclechristo]

thanks so much for posting this - this is my fave of all Abercrombie's bands and I;d never "seen" them move before :-) - they made 3 great albums - wish they came out on CD - maybe EDM will do one of those 3CD boxes they;ve been doing for other bands of this era.

I've taken lessons with John and am family friends with Peter Donald, and they are amazing human beings in addition to be being wonderful musicians

[JNPDITV]

[guillermobazzola]

Muito obrigado!

[JNPDITV]

I fully agree, Rod.

[rodjesusavantgard]

Abercrombie is the poet of modern guitar !!!

[somiberico]

I had the hapiness of being in this show. The criativity, interplay and the musical concept changed forever my mind and my taste in music. I was 18 years old.

No it is actually called "Foolish Dog" not door

[andyzxc]

@mrgone78 in fact it IS 'foolish door' - it was mistitled on the 1980 ecm album 'abercrombie quartet'. on ja's recent self-release 'cradle of light' (available on cd baby), it's given as 'foolish door'

[JNPDITV]

Thanks for sharing the tune's title.

[digaman710]

Superb! The tune is Abercrombie's "Foolish Door."

[mrgone78]

This is totally great - so rare... Arcade and Abercrombie Quartet were two of the most creative and fresh sounding recordings to emerge in improvised music in the late 70s... pity they never (to this day) have gotten anywhere near the respect they deserve. A video from this period is just wonderful!!

Great stuff. This music is sad but it is beautiful. All the Bill Evans heritage is there. Great players. Five stars!
