Here's a great blindfold test album (Lost Generation) Guitar Freaks might guess Pat Martino, but most will say something like " I don't know who that is, but he can PLAY!
Mark Stryker -Detroit Free Press

This astonishing performance (Beatrice) reveals the potency of Sam Rivers composition as a vehicle for improvisation. Abler's may be the best cover of this tune I have heard. Guitar fanciers should not hesitate to pick this CD up.
