"Structures" is a relaxed album of jazz standards and original compositions from this formidable trio, all captured with Chesky's world-renowned minimalist recording techniques. "These world-class improvisers create a vibe of calm thoughtfulness, subtlety and delicate interaction on Structures", according to the album's liner notes. Abercrombie's first Chesky release came in 2003 with "Three Guitars", a highly acclaimed album that saw him going acoustic with Larry Coryell and Brazilian phenomenon Badi Assad. Jackson, meanwhile, made his Chesky debut backing Valerie Joyce on her "New York Blue" in 2005.
