The three musicians each had a special bond ,in their own way, with John Abercrombie. Adam Nussbaum, John’s favorite drummers, has been part of several bands and recording sessions for years, including the Nuttree Project (John Abercrombie, Adam Nussbaum, Jerry Bergonzie & Gary Versace) and the group John Abercrombie, Adam Nussbaum & Dan Wall. John was an important source of inspiration and ‘director’ during his studies at the conservatory for Ed Verhoeff . It was during the same period that Ed was asked by Hein to be part of the ‘European’ Baseline as a shadow band. Double bassist Hein van de Geyn was part of the John Abercrombie trio during his stay in the USA. The other way around, John was part of Vander Geijn’s own trio ‘Baseline’, which they also recorded three albums with.
