This inspired trio session was recorded with the musicians sharing a single microphone, making for a particularly intimate listening experience. Guitarist John Abercrombie has never sounded better, displaying the subtle lyricism that is only one facet of his musical personality, while bassist Eddie Gómez is his usual fluid self and drummer Gene Jackson adds a soft touch, frequently sticking to brushes. Gómez opens the tasty “The Touch of Your Lips” with a warm arco solo, switching back to pizzicato as the trio gains steam. Their hushed interpretation of “Moon and Sand” is stunning, as is the understated bossa nova setting of Cole Porter’s “Everything I Love.” Their arrangement of Bill Evans’ ballad “Turn Out the Stars” (which Gómez undoubtedly played hundreds of times during his 11-plus-year tenure with the pianist) is more straight-ahead and less dramatic than its composer’s conception, though no less enticing. Originals by Abercrombie and Gómez also prove to be excellent vehicles for the trio’s musical explorations. Highly recommended.

Structures is a relaxed album of jazz standards and original compositions from this formidable trio, all captured with Chesky’s world-renowned minimalist recording techniques. “These world-class improvisers create a vibe of calm thoughtfulness, subtlety and delicate interaction on Structures,” according to the album’s liner notes. Abercrombie’s first Chesky release came in 2003 with Three Guitars, a highly acclaimed album that saw him going acoustic with Larry Coryell and Brazilian phenomenon Badi Assad. Jackson, meanwhile, made his Chesky debut backing Valerie Joyce on her New York Blue CD in 2005.
