Submitted by admin on Tue, 05/11/2010 - 20:30

From the legendary Mahavishnu Orchestra and pioneering Shakti to the present, John McLaughlin is one of the world’s great guitar innovators.  One of the prime movers and shakers in a world where jazz turned electric in the late 60s, he made a seminal contribution to the groundbreaking fusion of Miles Davis and ever since he has been renowned for his quest for excellence and musical surprise.
Here McLaughlin returns to a powerhouse electric jazz setting with his band The 4th Dimension, featuring Level 42 sideman and formidable keyboardist Gary Husband, the whirlwind drummer Mark Mondesir and Cameroonian bassist Etienne M'Bappe. 
"One of the few Europeans to divert the course of jazz history" The Guardian
“Given the intensity of his inspiration, the technical capacity of McLaughlin is truly phenomenal. Yet the true force of his music is divine, and believably so – an experience of pleasure and energy, and yet sincere and exhilarating worship as wellDownbeat
