Five Years Later is an album by guitarists John Abercrombie and Ralph Towner that was recorded in 1981 and released by ECM in 1982.[1]

Reception[]

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow gave the album 2½ stars, stating, "One can easily tell the two guitarists apart, since Abercrombie mostly plays electric and has a more forceful sound, while Towner's solos are usually more introverted. They perform three of Towner's songs, a pair of Abercrombie originals, and three collaborations. Although the interaction tends to be fairly quiet, there is a lot of subtle passion."[2] The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said, "another album of spectacular duets".[3]
