“This night was very special. I am so glad it was recorded. It was a kind of magical night. There was something extra in the music and in the air.” – John McLaughlin
Dedicated to Modern Drummer hall of famer Dennis Chambers (who has played with John, P-Funk All Stars, Steely Dan, and Bill Evans amongst many others) ‘Mr. DC’ is playful interplay between Jany McPherson’s delightful voice and piano and both Gary Husband and Nicolas Viccaro on drums.
John McLaughlin brought a fusion of world music, jazz, and blues to the mainstream with his Mahavishnu Orchestra and recordings with Santana and The Rolling Stones as well as his groundbreaking ‘Live in San Francisco’ albums with Al Di Meola and Paco de Lucia.
‘Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2022’ is a masterclass in jazz fusion that travels all these worlds on one prestigious stage.
