The Third Quartet is a marked continuation by a special group of people under Abercrombie's leadership.

The set is ambitious and full of charm, warmth, sadness and grace. From the opener, "Banshee, until the last track, "Fine, The Third Quartet possesses the gravity of revelation.

Third Quartet is the third album by this rather astonishing group of musicians under guitarist and composer John Abercrombie's leadership. His collaborators: drummer Joey Baron, violinist Mark Feldman, and bassist Marc Johnson are all accomplished leaders in their own rights, but as they team with Abercrombie, something unusual, unwieldy, and utterly transformative takes place.

John Abercrombie - guitar Mark Feldman - violin Joey Baron - drums Marc Johnson - bass. One of the things that always bugged me in most jazz music, particularly bebop, is how compositions tend to stick to a /theme structure. While improvisation is imbedded in jazz, solos often wonder so far astray from the main theme it can sometimes be hard to recognize it as a song. Perhaps somewhat unusually, bandleader John Abercrombie chose to create a quartet that includes a violinist rather than a horn or woodwind player. While the inclusion of violin can be dated back all the way to Django Reinhardt, it’s hard to compare it with the music found on this disc. The album has an incredibly lush and atmospheric mood, often blending in classical music elements with contemporary jazz.
