Beautifully recorded in late 2002 in New York’s St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Three Guitars is a must-hear summit meeting between three extraordinary fretboard masters: Larry Coryell, Badi Assad - then a rising star of the Brazilian music scene - and John Abercrombie. Despite their differences in age, nationality, genre, gender, and musical sensibility, the three musicians found common ground in what Coryell described as a “unique intersection of creativity.” Coryell and Abercrombie, pioneers of electric jazz fusion in the ‘70s, play steel-stringed acoustic guitars, which contrast with Assad’s nylon-stringed classical guitar. The multi-talented Brazilian also contributed vocals and made percussion noises using her mouth and body. Highlights include Coryell’s ‘No Flight Tonite,’ Abercrombie’s ‘Timeless’ and Assad’s ‘After The Rain.’ Available for the first time since 2005, Three Guitars is reissued on 180gram One Step Pressing LP and SACD Hybrid Stereo channel.
