John Abercrombie's characteristic lyrical guitar style has captivated listeners via a number of releases on ECM, and the sadness was great when the guitarist passed away last year. In this close-up portrait, we join Abercrombie at home, meet family and cats and we get to participate in informal jam sessions in John's own living room. The film is subdued and poetic – just like John's music!
