Tactics is a live album by guitarist John Abercrombie with organist Dan Wall and drummer Adam Nussbaum recorded in 1996 and released on the ECM label[1]
Reception
In his review on Allmusic, Scott Yanow stated, "Not sounding at all like a typical soul-jazz organ group, these musicians take more advanced improvisations".[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars stating it contains "churning but still delicate Hammond shapes, a rock steady bass, and some of Abercrombie's lightest and most dancing jazz-playing".[3]
