Guitar legend and composer John McLaughlin guitarist has appeared on some of the most important jazz fusion and world music albums in the last 40 years, from Tony Williams Lifetime and Miles Davis’s early electric albums to his own ground-breaking outfits, the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Shakti.
For ‘Floating Point’, which was recorded in India, McLaughlin used several of the best Indian musicians in the world. Joining them were other Western stars saxophonist George Brooks and bassist Hadrien Feraud. McLaughlin says, “While this CD features predominantly Indian musicians, we are in quite another form compared to the group Shakti. The music is for the most part ‘Jazz Fusion’ if a label has to be put on it. But with the musicians involved in this project, it has also a ‘world’ kind of atmosphere.”
McLaughlin adds, “I really am happy with the outcome of this CD which actually came about quite spontaneously and without any real planning. You can hear in the music where I am in my development, and in which directions I’m moving. It was a real thrill to play with these players. This may be the best record I ever made.”
"One of the most fluent, evocative and powerful albums in a career filled with high points
”.
John Kelman, Allaboutjazz
