New Directions is an album by Jack DeJohnette, recorded in June 1978 and released on ECM later that year. The quartet features trumpeter Lester Bowie, guitarist John Abercrombie, and bassist Eddie Gomez.
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow noted that "the music is a bit dull, making too much use of space and featuring less of Bowie's trumpet and wit than one would hope... There are some strong moments (particularly from Abercrombie and DeJohnette) but this band (to use a cliché) was less than the sum of its parts."[1]
