专辑介绍
by Scott Yanow
Although John Lewis is listed as the leader (this album's alternate title is &John Lewis Presents Contemporary Music&), the pianist does not actually appear on this record and only contributed one piece (&Django&). On what is very much a Gunther Schuller project, Schuller composed &Abstraction& and was responsible for the adventurous three-part &Variants on a Theme of John Lewis (Django)& and the four-part &Variants on a Theme of Thelonious Monk (Criss-Cross)&; Jim Hall contributed &Piece for Guitar & Strings.& One of the most successful third stream efforts, this LP combines avant-garde jazz with aspects of classical music. Among the more notable stars, altoist Ornette Coleman is on &Abstraction& and &Criss Cross& (both of which have been reissued in his Rhino CD box) and multi-instrumentalist Eric Dolphy is on both of the &Variants.& Other musicians in the eclectic cast include guitarist Hall, bassist Scott LaFaro, pianist Bill Evans, and several classical string players. This is very interesting music.
