As I slide inexorably towards my dotage, Abercrombie seems to overtake everyone else (well, maybe not Bill Frisell, it depends on the day) as my fave guitarist. This is much more mainstream than his fantastic quartet with Mark Feldman, but Abercrombie is riveting.
Timeless was my first ECM purchase, I think. I don't have it on CD :-(
The story goes that Jarrett almost didn't go on because of severe back pain and the promoter not delivering the agreed Steinway concert grand. The piano was substandard and not tuned to Jarrett's satisfaction. If you listen to what he plays, it's mainly in the middle register, apparently because the extreme notes were unplayable.
I think the story is in Ian Carr's biography of Jarrett. I can't check, because my copy is in storage.

I don't hear a problem with the piano on the Koln Concert on either Red Book or 24/96. What do you mean?
Now
Gong - Expresso III
Nice sound.

Cracking album IMV. Never seen RT live, I'd almost make an exception for him.
I bet Porcupine Tree were a bit good!
I'm digging out Deadwing right now
Yup, he is Lester-ish.
Blimey! What Trane album is he on?
Never heard of Pineapple Thief, but will investigate. Good name - deserves a chicken
