John Abercrombie & Ralph Towner: The Art of the Duo - live at NDR 1984


John Abercrombie, guitar
Ralph Towner, guitar

recorded live at NDR Sudios 1984

1. Late Night Passenger (John Abercrombie)
2. Timeless (John Abercrombie)
3. Waterwheel (Ralph Towner)
4. Nardis (Miles Davis)

The now legendary album "Sargasso Sea" released 1976 on ECM is a delightful introduction to the guitar duo of Abercrombie and Towner, whose strikingly different styles prove remarkably compatible. Towner: “With Abercrombie I can play as much as when playing solo and still get to ply my skills as accompanist.”

thanks for "John Abercrombie & Ralph Towner: The Art of the Duo - live at NDR 1984"
i already have their 2 studio albums - nice combination of acoustic guitar (towner) and electric/acoustic (abercrombie), 2 guitarists with unique and complimentary styles.
this is a very clear recording.
