John McLaughlin

DIGIPACK EDITION

4 STARS ALL MUSIC GUIDE

It`s been two years since John McLaughlin released the highly acclaimed To the One (Abstract Logix, 2010) - his first studio recording with The 4th Dimension, the veteran guitar innovator`s second longest-standing group since the east-meets-west fusion of Shakti. Comments like “…listening to his improvisations…leaves no doubt that [McLaughlin] is in inspired creative form,” (Ian Patterson, AllAboutJazz.com), and “…this tight 40- minute document hums with a collaborative energy." (John Fordham, The Guardian) left little doubt that McLaughlin`s return to the electrified fusion he first innovated more than 40 years ago in groups led by trumpet icon Miles Davis and drum legend Tony Williams - and, of course, with his own earth-shattering Mahavishnu Orchestra - was as inimitably electrifying and exhilarating as ever.
