The inspired combinaton of guitarists John Abercrombie and Ralph Towner helped make this one of the very finest jazz records of the 1970's and one of the strongest albums in the ECM catelogue.
Having acquired my copy many years ago, it is a frequent visitor to my CD player. Towner's acoustic guitar fits neatly in partnership with Abercrombie's electric instrument, although variety is added by the former switching to piano on one track and the latter also picking up his acoustic guitar too. As a rule, these guitar summits that were popular around this time often degenerated into boring demonstrations of technique. In keeping with the philosophy of producer Manfred Eicher, Towner and Abercrombie eschew this approach in favour of strong melodies ... Read More:

"Where is there an end of it, the soundless wailing/The silent withering of autumn flowers".
It is a reasonable assumption that John Abercrombie did not have to mind these words of T.S.Elliot, from "Dry Salvages", the third of his "Four Quartets" when he recorded his latest, impressive, offering with his quartet, so inopportune are the sentiments. Perhaps more so than "Cat and Mouse" and "Class Trip", "the Third Quartet" is understated and, at first listen, unremarkable but repeated listens reveal the synthesis of Abercrombie's two main inspirations, namely lyricism and free improvisation, and the uniqueness of his guitar, violin, bass and drums quartet.

I first bought this album when it appeared in 1978, and have just replaced it on CD, not something that I do with many of my original plastic discs.Never have I made a better decision. Along with "GNU High", Wheeler's first album for ECM as leader, this rates in my opinion as his best work. It is a wonderful, wonderful record, and if you are thinking of finding out why this man and his music has inspired so much affection over the years (as witnessed by those present at the 75th Birthday QEH concert back in January 2005, then this will give you some indication. An extraordinary record.
