For followers who bemoan guitarist John Abercrombie’s tendency to record rather adventurous albums with an often electronically treated tone, Witchcraft will be a delight. On this duo recording with bassist Don Thompson (who also plays piano on three tracks), the guitarists’ sound is untreated, and the repertoire is standards. The two play well together, and there are some lovely moments on the record. The title track finds Abercrombie using the differing tonal qualities of his guitar’s open strings to give the melody a unique interpretation. The sole original on the record, “Fall Colours” (credited to both writers, although the Canadian spelling may reveal the true author), is based on the standard “Autumn Leaves.” Abercrombie sounds fine here, if at times pretty rather than substantial. He prefers to play in long single-note lines, rather than taking the more chordal approach many guitarists attempt in such a stripped-down setting. Thompson is a highly interactive bass player with enviable technique, allowing him to play melodic, fluid solos throughout. ~Dan Cross, AMG
