From the legendary Mahavishnu Orchestra and pioneering band Shakti through to the present, John McLaughlin is one of the world's great guitar innovators. A prime mover and shaker 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 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.

****
This McLaughlin quartet is due for three May dates in the UK, and the repertoire here emerged from what the guitarist is describing as an imaginative renaissance for him in 2009.24 Apr 2010

There are many musicians that stand the test of time. In the jazz genre, guitar players generally find their niche and remain there. While their skills and repertoire may mature, listeners know what to expect musically.
This [new John McLaughlin and the 4th Dimension] CD is all original material that clearly shows John McLaughlin is constantly evolving. He has proven himself in many arenas and is always pushing the envelope of new ideas.
