1000 SONGS - DAY 334 SONG # 365

Day 333: Ambient Before Ambient Ever Happened

John Abercrombie is certainly one of the good jazz guitarists that were already there in the 70ies and more on the alternative side. I once owned his album "Timeless" (featuring Jan Hammer and Jack de Johnette), a timeless recording published on the mostly brilliant ECM-label. This here, the title track, strikes me as being ambient music before someone (I guess it was Brian Eno) created this label. A timeless beauty, methinks, worth to close the first year of the 1000 Songs Challenge.
