Open Land

Open Land is an album by American jazz guitarist John Abercrombie recorded in September 1998 and released on ECM June the following year. The sextet features trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, saxophonist Joe Lovano, violinist Mark Feldman, organist Dan Wall, and drummer Adam Nussbaum.

Reception
The AllMusic review by Richard S. Ginell called the album "an absorbing set of elegantly textured, poly-styled music laced with his drifting, occasionally jagged yet never overbearing guitar."

The Penguin Guide to Jazz stated: "Like most current ECM sets, this feels very much like a collaborative project rather than a leader-plus-group; but Abercrombie does seem firmly, quietly in charge here, steering the performances in his distinctive hard to define way."
