Considered by many critics and fans to be one of the
greatest guitar players of all-time, JOHN MCLAUGHLIN
has famously performed with Miles Davis and his own
historic bands, The Mahavishnu Orchestra, Shakti and The
Guitar Trio. Through the almost four decades of his
career, one constant has been Mr.
McLaughlin’s artistry as a
virtuoso guitarist and venturesome
improviser.
McLaughlin has managed not to be eclipsed by his
own history, forever moving forward with stellar outfits to
interpret his latest musical direction.
For JOHN McLAUGHLIN & FOURTH DIMENSION, he
has enlisted Level 42 and Allan Holdsworth drummer and
keyboardist GARY HUSBAND to play keys, longtime associate
of A. R. Rahman, RANJIT BAROT, will provide the
beat and, from Cameroon, the young extraordinary bassist
ETIENNE MBAPPÉ will complete the rhythm section
.
“A shared sense of exhilaration, intensity, joy and purpose.”
DOWN BEAT
“A feast for fusion-lovers everywhere...mesmerising
improvisation...a joyful, uplifting experience.”
ALLOUTGUITAR
“McLaughlin came
out with a stinging
attack that
recalled his more
aggressive, overtly
cathartic electric
playing from the
’70s, eliciting wild
cheers from the
packed house at
Town Hall.”
