They are not comparable. Nothing wrong with Duke, an unjustly overlooked album, but they are just not the same bands. Although the 3 soldiered on, without Hackett and Gabriel, they cannot be compared. Fair to say you like one better than the other, though.

It is rare...and a bird. Maybe they should have called their new band Raw Rabbit.

ca. 1986 John Abercrombie and Don Thompson "Witchcraft"
The mid 80's through the early 90's was an incredibly fertile period for Abercrombie, one of my personal favorite guitarists.
This set consists of mostly standards in duo format with Canadian bass player and pianist Don Thompson. #Jazz 🗽

The "justly" famous Manny's Cafeteria and Delicatessen in Chicago's South Loop helping out.
I remember Obama eating here when he was campaigning for President, Gino carving corned beef for him like a samurai.

Nostalgia gets the better of us record collectors.
top 4 are keepers. bottom 3 in the pile (not because I don't like them, they're just much better on CD or Hi-Res).

Patience will be rewarded...a somewhat recurring theme for Charlie Haden recordings.
"beyond the Missouri Sky" with Pat Metheny.
Both of these master musicians are from America's Heartland.
Charlie from Shenandoah, Iowa and Pat from Lee's Summit, Missouri.

The Song might remain the same, but the remastering makes what's old, new again.
