JOHN ABERCROMBIE: The Third Quartet
A Cool Night At Home/ECM
John Abercrombie, electric & acoustic guitar; Mark Feldman, violin; Marc Johnson, bass; Joey Baron, drums ECM 1993 (CD). 2007. Manfred Eicher, prod.; James Farber, eng. DDD. TT: 59:45 Performance ****½ Sonics ****½ John Abercrombie has never become a star like the other major jazz guitarists of his generation, Pat Metheny and John Scofield and Bill Frisell. He gives up nothing to them in chops or artistic depth, but Abercrombie lacks the instincts of a crowd-pleaser. There are guitar hooks that are guaranteed to bring the masses to their feet, and Abercrombie may never have twanged one in his life. He plays subtle, sophisticated, adventurous, lyrically off-center music. In the 33 years of his distinguished discography, he may never have made a more poetic, more fully realized recording than The Third Quartet.

E VOLVE TABLE
Design was inspired by natural fluid patterns and naturally grown shapes. This approach was translatedinto an initial digital model, which was subsequently optimized using digital structural and artificial
intelligence algorithms. Special attention was paid to the organic, bone-like connections at the branches, where he complete ensemble splits up into it’s subparts, which make the table demountable for transport convenience.

100 Per Simplicity
Sophisticated Simplicity, Almost SustainableHironao Tsuboi, half of 100%, the Japanese design duo responsible for the thought-provoking near miss Lamp/Lamp, has some pretty interesting things to say about design in an interview with PingMag. Among the tastier nuggets are his thoughts about what makes good design: the "timeless products [that] won’t get thrown away or get rusty, since they are here to stay. That would be good design." Though 100%'s work isn't super-sustainable, we do like their penchant for creating thought-provoking designs and the spot-on mix of function and simplicity.
