R.I.P. John :(

A great, great player.

I saw him several times over the years and have around 20 albums - he was prolific.

The Gateway reunion in 1994 was so amazing I saw them twice - Abercrombie with Dave Holland and Jack DeJohnette.

Unique sound, gentle and always totally identifiable.

 

He will be much missed.

 

R.I.P.
