John Abercrombie / Marc Johnson / Peter Erskine is a live album by jazz guitarist John Abercrombie with bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Peter Erskine that was recorded in 1988 in Boston and released by ECM Records in 1989.[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Ron Wynn gave the album 4½ stars, stating, "The trio sometimes unite for piercing interpretations as on "Stella By Starlight" and other times collide and interact on furious rhythm dialogues and extended improvisations".[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz said, "Not known as a big standards player Abercrombie turns in a beautiful "Stella by Starlight" here, perfectly weighted this side of sentimentality, and an unforgettable version of the less well-known Dietz/Schwatrz "Haunted Heart". Johnson and Erskine make a convincing team"[3]
