I'm a huge Abercrombie fan and this album is one of my favorites. Scofield and Abercrombie dig down deep into some jazzy blues lines that make these two guitar players undeniably some of the most creative to ever play the guitar. Abercrombie is magical as always and Scofield is young, bold, and worthy to share the light with this jazz god. I feel like Abercrombie is passing the torch on to another generation. The album [Timeless] materialized the jazz-rock-fusion era by crossing boundaries and steering music into new directions (an unbeatable accomplishment.) This has been handed off to Scofield who has ever since been attempting to move jazz onto a new canvas.

I'm glad to see that this has gotten back on CD; Cook and Baker don't list it in their Penguin guide.

Abercrombie was second only to McLaughlin among the guitarists of this epoch, to my taste; Scofield was not far behind. Both men had it over the great J Mac in that they played better with others. And this is a great interaction, not "two stars that can't play together", to quote Jelly Roll Morton. Figments of Pat Metheny are floating around here, and the harmonies are the harmonies we remember from Jarrett, ECM and the other masters of this period. I won't deny that there's a certain power of nostalgia at work here, but it's like a wine that never ages into superannuation.

A beautiful as the record was (original date was 1984, so I'm not sure whether it was issued on vinyl or CD - I have a cassette), it might have been stronger if all tracks had been dual electric, with no bass + drums. No criticism of those supporting musicians; just that my memory is a of a downright magical guitar duo.

What a pleasant memory, and pleasant knowledge that both musicians are still producing excellent music.

This duo works as well together as Herb Ellis & Joe Pass, with the same amount of skill and taste. Definitely great listening at home, relaxing after a long day at work. The mood is subdued yet warm and enveloping. This makes me wish that they had worked together for more than just this one disc.

Pockets o' brilliance abound with two interlocking giants complimenting each other in that progressively mellow way which beckons everyone from elevator enthusiasts to fusion fanatics of jazz guitar to own up.

There are many good mainstream-jazz guitar duo albums. This one is my most favorite. If you are preparing to spend a wonderful evening with a very special person, music from this CD would be perfect for the background (don't forget though to activate the REPEAT button on your CD-player as this CD is ahh...too short). You might feel that Track 3 (Four on Six) doesn't quite fit into the whole concept: it's too up-tempo and too saltatory, however, if you had consumed enough PINOT NOIR you wouldn't have found it terribly irritating... What am I talking about? Guys, this is a great CD! Mr Abercrombie apart from playing guitar uses electric mandoline and George Mraz (bass) and Peter Donald (drums) contributed to a couple of tracks. "Abercrombie & Scofield" go together as well as "Abercrombie & Fitch".
