While We're Young is an album by guitarist John Abercrombie with organist Dan Wall and drummer Adam Nussbaum recorded in 1992 and released on the ECM label[1]

Reception

The Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 4 stars stating "This trio hits on many different angles, from somber and reverent to acutely kinetic and truly electrifying. This is exploratory music, unique unto itself, and a landmark fusion of the '90s. If this kind of jazz is what you crave, those who were young in the '70s, it's a must-buy, no doubt".[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars stating "It was widely assumed in 1992 that Abercrombie's organ trio - poised somewhere between Wes Montgomery and Lifetime - was a one-off idea, a forgivable self-indulgence that actually worked better than one had a right to expect. In fact its great success has largely defined Abercrombie's recent career and has very significantly kick-started his playing".[3]
