Getting There is a 1988 release by John Abercrombie, featuring his working trio of the time, including bassist Marc Johnson and drummer Peter Erskine. Additionally, tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker makes guest appearances on three tracks. The track "Remember Hymn" has since become a jazz standard, appearing in the Sher Music Co. publication The New Real Book Volume Two.
The Allmusic review by Jim Todd awarded the album 2½ stars, stating, "The music on this 1988 release from guitarist John Abercrombie is groomed to such aseptic perfection that little remains of the musical personalities behind these sounds... Musicians of the caliber of Abercrombie, Johnson, Erskine, and Brecker cannot fail to generate interest when they get together. This time out, though, their efforts would have been better presented as a master class workshop".The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3 stars.
All tunes written by John Abercrombie unless otherwise noted.
