John Abercrombie • Cat 'n' Mouse

 

 

Review by AllMusic
Aided by an all-star band, John Abercombie makes it clear on CAT 'N' MOUSE exactly why he continues to be regarded as one of jazz's most creative and progressive guitarists. He's possessed not only of fearsome chops, but a finely honed textural sensibility that enables him to move from the slinky lines and feathery tones of the opening cut "A Nice Idea" to the forward-looking experimentalism of "Convolution" and post-bop firestorm of "Stop and Go" without missing a beat. Yoemanlike work is done as well by violinist Mark Feldman, whose purity of tone is matched only by his ceaseless originality and succinct phrasing. On the album's numerous contemplative tunes, it's a pleasure to hear Abercombie and Feldman's lines cris-crossing, creating spontaneous tone poems that bear beauty and invention in equal measure.

Reseña de AllMusic
Ayudado por una banda de estrellas, John Abercombie deja claro en CAT 'N' MOUSE exactamente por qué sigue siendo considerado como uno de los guitarristas más creativos y progresivos del jazz. No sólo posee una técnica temible, sino también una sensibilidad textural muy afinada que le permite pasar de las líneas suaves y los tonos plumosos del primer corte, "A Nice Idea", al experimentalismo con visión de futuro de "Convolution" y a la tormenta post-bop de "Stop and Go" sin perder el ritmo. El violinista Mark Feldman, cuya pureza de tono sólo se ve igualada por su incesante originalidad y su fraseo sucinto, también realiza un gran trabajo. En las numerosas melodías contemplativas del álbum, es un placer escuchar cómo las líneas de Abercombie y Feldman se entrecruzan, creando poemas tonales espontáneos que contienen belleza e invención a partes iguales.
