Review by Scott Yanow
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.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
A diferencia del primer álbum Gateway, esta reedición en CD pone más énfasis en el lado rockero del estilo del guitarrista John Abercrombie. Abercrombie (que también toca algo de mandolina eléctrica) todavía se permite una estrecha interacción con el bajista Dave Holland y el batería Jack DeJohnette (que dobla un poco al piano), pero la interpretación de los cinco originales del grupo es generalmente más ardiente que introspectiva. Ninguna de las selecciones individuales es memorable, pero la improvisación en grupo tiene muchos momentos sorprendentes.

Thanks for posting the first two Gateways. They are a bit different, the first being on the rougher side, while the second the more ethereal. It's nice to have them in one place.
ReplyDeleteYes Rev, there are a couple of Gateway from 1994 that I haven't heard yet.
