Dan Wall: On the Inside Looking In

Read "On the Inside Looking In" reviewed by C. Andrew Hovan


It just so happens that he currently makes his home in Cleveland, Ohio, yet pianist/organist Dan Wall is a world class player who could hold his own in New York, LA or just about anywhere. An integral part of guitarist John Abercrombie’s trio for some eight years now (see and hear Open Land and Tactics ), Wall rarely sits at the Hammond B3 for in-town gigs, but has made a strong attempt to develop a voice on the instrument through ...

John Abercrombie: Open Land

Read "Open Land" reviewed by C. Andrew Hovan


Truth be told, John Abercrombie has always been one of the more neglected players of his generation. He's never done the more commercial types of things that have brought fellow guitarists like Pat Metheny a broader audience base, and yet the irony is that his adventurous style and sound was the forerunner of such current underground favorites as Kurt Rosenwinkel, Bill Frisell, and Ben Monder. Several years ago, however, he chose to work in the context of an organ trio. ...
