John Abercrombie, Dave Holland, Jack DeJohnette - Gateway 2 (1978)

personnel :

John Abercrombie - electric and acoustic guitars, electric mandolin
Dave Holland - double bass
Jack DeJohnette - drums, piano

Unlike the first Gateway album, this CD reissue puts more of an emphasis on the rockish side of guitarist John Abercrombie's style. Abercrombie (who also plays some electric mandolin) still indulges in close interplay with bassist Dave Holland and drummer Jack DeJohnette (who doubles a bit on piano) but the playing on the five group originals is generally more fiery than introspective. None of the individual selections are all that memorable but the group improvising does have plenty of surprising moments.~Scott Yanow
