"AloneTogether ," presents John Abercrombie, one of the most influential guitarists of the past 30 years in an intimate"electro-acoustic duo," with the Rhineland-born Frank Haunschild. The nine pieces include 3 Abercrombie compositions, 2 by Haunschild and 'standards' by Irving Berlin, Ralph Towner, Colin Walcott and the titletrack by Arthur Schwartz & Howard Dietz. The result is a brilliant lesson in spellbinding sound, with Abercrombie mainly on acoustic steel-string. There are sections of deceptive, impressionistic interplay in the themes and improvisations of great musical expressiveness, full of sweeping power, deepest concentration and magnetic beauty.
