Haunschild & Abercrombie - Alone Together

Frank Haunschild had just finished adding a stroke of genius to the finest in jazz guitar on the German-American axis together with John Stowell, and then the next stroke was already here.

“Alone Together”, nine classical and modern standards plus works by the duo partners themselves: A first-class, impressively mature “electro-acoustic duo”, with the Rhineland-born Haunschild playing jazz guitar and the New-York Proteus John Abercrombie on acoustic steelstring. The result is a brilliant lesson in spellbinding sound, with apparently impressionistic traps in the themes and improvisations of grand musical expressiveness, full of sweeping associative power, deepest concentration and magnetic beauty.
