"Two virtuosos, John Abercrombie and Ralph Towner, get the chance to explore
eight of their own compositons (four by Abercrombie, two by Towner, and two by
Abercrombie & Towner together.) An entire recording of often subtle guitar duets
might have become dull, but Abercrombie and Towner each have a distinctive sound
and this music works for me. I particularly enjoyed the sound of Abercrombie's
electric guitar with Towner's acoustic one. Towner's occasional piano touches
are also welcome. The compositions offer enough variety to help keep things
interesting as well. Highlights are the lovely "Fable" and the appropriately
mysterious "Sargasso Sea." This music was recorded in 1976. Five years later
Abercrombie and Towner recorded another session of duets appropriately titled
"Five Years Later." To my knowledge it has never been released on CD. It's about
time it was."
