  • Getting There (album)

    Getting There is a 1988 release by John Abercrombie, featuring his working trio of the time, including bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Peter Erskine. Additionally, tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker makes guest appearances on three tracks. The track "Remember Hymn" has since become a jazz standard, appearing in the Sher Music Co. publication The New Real Book Volume Two.

    Reception

    The Allmusic review by Jim Todd awarded the album 2½ stars stating "The music on this 1988 release from guitarist John Abercrombie is groomed to such aseptic perfection that little remains of the musical personalities behind these sounds... Musicians of the caliber of Abercrombie, Johnson, Erskine, and Brecker cannot fail to generate interest when they get together. This time out, though, their efforts would have been better presented as a master class workshop". The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars.

    Getting There

    by: Crowned King

    Sometimes I think philosophy
    About the future and where I want to be
    Down the road from now I've got my dreams
    But they could all come crashing down
    And I think that several years from now
    I'll have decisions to make and I don't know how
    I'm going to make them but I'll try
    To make a difference before I die
    We all have dreams
    And in my heart
    I hope my are granted
    With a head start
    If I had my way I'd travel the world
    I'm be free without a care
    I guess I'll see you when I get there
    I see a man in shabby clothes
    A cardboard box is his only home
    I tend to wonder of his dreams
    Where did they go wrong, now on his knees
    He prays to a god that failed him
    It's getting dark, the candle dim
    And I leave him with no response
