An intimate portrait of a great guitarist, filmed near the end of his musical journey. John Abercrombie is shown gigging with Gary Versace and Adam Nussbaum in Liechtenstein, jamming with Rob Scheps, Eliot Zigmund and David Kingsnorth in New York, teaching music students at Purchase College, talking guitars with NYC luthier Ric McCurdy, and hanging out at home with wife Lisa and Al the cat. Along the way John reflects, with characteristic good humor, on a creative life lived outside the mainstream and traces his story from his first encounter with an electric guitar onwards. The film's soundtrack includes, in addition to the live performances, selections from many of John Abercronbie's ECM recordings.
