On this edition I pay tribute to music and life of the late great Jazz Guitarist John Abercrombie who sadly died on the 22nd of August at the age of 72. This versatile and inventive guitarist explored Jazz-Fusion, Jazz-Rock, Post-Boop and Free-Avantgarde and created a patchwork of many colours, which made him to one of the most influential acoustic and electric Jazz guitarists of our time.
