November is an album by guitarist John Abercrombie with saxophonist John Surman, bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Peter Erskine recorded in 1992 and released on the ECM label[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 3 stars stating "It's a solid session from beginning to end, but one still wishes Eicher would take his hands off the sound controls a bit, allowing some of the rawness that each of these players shows in live settings to enter the studio".[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 4 stars stating "Reconvening the trio with Johnson and Erskine was a masterstroke. Teaming them with stablemate Surman was little short of genius... Superb, evocative modern jazz".[3]
