The "Necromancer" series—which reissues rare titles from handmade, collector-focused labels using official master recordings—now welcomes "Headless Hawk," one of the premier collector labels in the jazz world. These rare titles are being re-released at an accessible price point, featuring a new reissue emblem and updated back-cover artwork.

This live recording by John Abercrombie is the latest addition to the label’s growing catalog. It features a duo performance with Miroslav Vitous—best known as the original bassist for Weather Report—on acoustic bass. Abercrombie plays electric guitar, ranging from a traditional jazz sound to rich, layered textures crafted through the use of effects and electronics; at times, the sound is so full that it is hard to believe it is only two musicians playing. With high-quality soundboard audio, this is an essential listen for fans of the ECM sound.
