Produced by faculty member Rick Peckham, the concert will feature performances by faculty members Tim Miller and Bruce Saunders; students; guest artists Joey Baron and Lage Lund; and brief remarks from Mick Goodrick.

Abercrombie came to prominence in the mid-1970s, forging a path followed by guitarists John Scofield, Bill Frisell, Goodrick, and Pat Metheny.

A recording artist with the ECM label for 40 years, his seminal recordings were among the first to blend rock, folk, and world music with jazz.

He worked with a wide range of collaborators, including frequent work with Jack DeJohnette, Ralph Towner, Dave Holland, Kenny Wheeler, and Marc Copland.

Metheny described Abercrombie, who passed away in 2017, as “a guitarist who excels at everything he does.

Besides being constantly engaging as a soloist, he is one of the best accompanists in jazz.”
