Personnel: John Abercrombie (guitar); Jan Hammer (piano, organ, synthesizer); Jack DeJohnette (drums). Recorded at Generation Sound Studios, New York, New York on June 21 & 22, 1974. Personnel: John Abercrombie (guitar); Jan Hammer (piano, organ, synthesizer); Jack DeJohnette (drums). Recording information: Generation Sound Studios, New York, NY (06/21/1974-06/22/1974). Photographer: Roberto Masotti. Guitarist John Abercrombie's first in a long line of recordings for ECM was also his debut as a leader. Teamed up with Jan Hammer (who here plays organ, synthesizer, and piano) and drummer Jack DeJohnette, Abercrombie plays four of his originals, plus two by Hammer. These performances differ from many of the guitarist's later ECM dates in that Hammer injects a strong dose of fusion into the music, and there is plenty of spirited interplay between those two with fine support by DeJohnette. Thought-provoking and occasionally exciting music that generally defies categorization. ~ Scott Yanow TIMELESS is right--in the future, this is the kind of interplanetary jazz they're going to be playing at the docking stations of newly colonized planets. Recorded in 1974, TIMELESS is very much a product of its age. Lightning fast guitar and keyboard runs, hi-hats, and drums writhe around each other in serpentine fury, giving way to moments of stately grace and calm waters such as "Love Song." Composer John Abercrombie has remained one of the great session men and in-demand guitarists in both jazz and avant-garde circles since the mid-'70s. TIMELESS may inhabit the central nervous system of '70s fusion, but the playing of Abercrombie and colleagues Jan Hammer and drummer Jack DeJohnette manages to transcend the virtuosity of the genre, via crackerjack ensemble performances and some truly arresting compositions. The opener "Lungs" sets the tone--Abercrombie's spacy guitars arc in waves of sound, cresting on Hammer's spiky organ licks and gurgling synth frills, as DeJohnette's searing percussion threatens to send the entire escapade crashing onto a sonic reef. Whew. John Abercrombie Timeless Songs Timeless Music Review Average Rating: (4.8 out of 5 stars)   Worth Hearing I'd long avoided anything that looked like "fusion." But a "Jazz Times" critic chose this as one of the most significant albums of the past 35 years, so I thought I'd take a shot. The musical textures are varied and appealing. The album repays close listening. Submitted by jpeavoy (Claremont, CA. USA)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Prophetic Title This album is just simply great! It is a jewel of fusion. The keyboards are fantastic, and this is some of the best guitar-playing Abercrombie has ever produced in recorded form. The players work together seamlessly, and the compositions are immaculate. Get it! Submitted by Rick (Western U.S.)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
Early Superstars This album was a breakthrough for these artists. It received critical acclaim when it was first released in the mid seventies. Abercrombie, Hammer ("Miami Vice") and DeJohnette are gifted players, heard here before they had attained the individual stature each was to realize later. The title tune, "Timeless," is atmospheric and spacy. You are launched into a moonless sky full of stars - thoroughly pleasing. Think of the other tunes as bonus tracks. Good Listening - John Submitted by a reviewer (Dallas, Texas)  Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

| | Pat Metheny Metheny Mehldau CD (2006)
Timeless
$15.65 Personnel: Pat Metheny (guitar); Brad Mehldau (piano); Larry Grenadier (bass instrument); Jeff Ballard (drums). This collaboration between guitarist Pat Metheny and pianist Brad Mehldau echoes the 1962 minor masterpiece UNDERCURRENT, a set of improvised duets between guitarist Jim Hall and pianist Bill Evans. Like Hall and Evans, Mehldau and Metheny rarely stray too far from a standard approach, sticking mostly to post bop and ballad frameworks. But the magic of the album comes from the warm, intricate webs the two weave, especially on the quiet, meditative pieces. The pair are joined by a ...
| | Naked Raygun Jettison CD (1988)
Timeless
$12.15 Naked Raygun: Jeff Pezzati (vocals); John Haggerty (electric guitar, saxophone); Pierre Kezdy (bass); Eric Spicer (drums). Producers: Naked Raygun, Larry Sturm, Iain Burgess. Principally recorded at Jericho Studio and The Riviera, Chicago, Illinois. Includes liner notes by Bernie Bahrmasel. Occupying the space between the punk movement's departure and the arrival of grunge, Jettison is a definitive link between the two musical genres and, with its speedy slashing and grinding, is the most jarring and diverse of Naked Raygun's albums. Electrocuting guitars, pummeling drum beats, and unmerciful vocals, which combine the Misfits' ...
