Bio
.. .. ..To the One (2010) .. .. John McLaughlin and the 4th Dimension .. .. .... Order: ..USA, Asia (Abstract Logix) .. | ..Europe (Mediastarz) .. ...... ***************************************************************** ..With his new album To The One (Abstract Logix/Mediastarz), iconic guitarist and composer and 2010 Grammy Winner John McLaughlin looks backwards and forwards simultaneously. The six original songs are hauntingly evocative – with roiling rhythmic swells, modal expanses, and telepathic group interaction echoing the profound influence of John Cotrane’s 1965 spiritual jazz masterpiece ..A Love Supreme... .. Mostly written in July and August of 2009, the music composing To The One was set down in the studio in November and December, with very few overdubs, by McLaughlin’s current performing outfit, the Fourth Dimension: Gary Husband (keyboards, drums), Etienne M’Bappe (electric bass), and Mark Mondesir (drums). Compositional devices clearly inspired by Coltrane are fused with elements of McLaughlin’s own multi-faceted approach, all delivered with a group empathy and shared vision that harkens back to Coltrane’s fearless mid-‘60s quartet of Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner, and Jimmy Garrison. The effect of Jones’ kaleidoscopic approach to rhythm and drumming is especially felt, brilliantly recast and explored via McLaughlin’s gift for complex metrical structures. .. McLaughlin’s restless, enquiring spirit is captured with disarming immediacy on To The One, vividly enhanced by both the skill and soulfulness of the Fourth Dimension. From the surging opener “Discovery” to the gently propulsive title track which closes the compact, forty-minute program, McLaughlin’s own playing is at its very peak: emotional and probing, exploding into flourishes of rapid-fire sixteenth notes one moment, candid and unguardedly vulnerable the next. No slavish imitation or sentimental tribute, To The One is a fiery yet open-hearted work, taking on the artistic and spiritual challenges first offered by Coltrane’s jazz masterpiece while making extensive use of the pioneering musical and technical vocabulary that McLaughlin has honed since the beginning of his storied career. .. **************************************************************** .. ...... .. Order : ..>Abstract Logix (Americas, Asia) .. .. Mediastarz (Europe)... .. .. ....John McLaughlin Nominated for 2008 Grammy Awards...... .. ..John McLaughlin has already said Floating Point , his brand new CD, “May be the best record I ever made.” That’s really saying something when you consider McLaughlin’s prolific and trailblazing career. The guitarist and composer has appeared on some of the most important jazz-rock and world music albums in the last 40 years. The cd and DVD will be released by Mediastarz in EU and Abstract Logix in Americas. .... A behind the scenes DVD of the making of Floating Point will also be released. Filmed over a period of five days, it gives an intimate look at the spontaneity and vitality with which the CD was recorded. Further insight is offered through musician interviews and an extra audio track of McLaughlin providing commentary. It is the perfect companion piece for those who enjoy the CD and or would like to get a closer look at how minds meet during a modern recording session. ..Abstractlogix.. and ..Mediastarz ..in Europe. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .... .. **************************************************************** ...... .. .. .... ....Signup for our Mailing List.... ....*.. required .. .... .. .. ....First name:.... ...... .. .. ....Last name:.... ...... .. .. ....Email ..*..:.... ...... .. .. ....Country:.... .... ..Please select an option..... ..UNITED STATES.. ..CANADA.. ..UNITED KINGDOM.. ..AFGHANISTAN.. ..ALBANIA.. ..ALGERIA.. ..AMERICAN SAMOA.. ..ANDORRA.. ..ANGOLA.. ..ANGUILLA.. ..ANTARCTICA.. ..ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA.. ..ARGENTINA.. ..ARMENIA.. ..ARUBA.. ..AUSTRALIA.. ..AUSTRIA.. ..AZERBAIJAN.. ..BAHAMAS.. ..BAHRAIN.. ..BANGLADESH.. ..BARBADOS.. ..BELARUS.. ..BELGIUM.. ..BELIZE.. ..BENIN.. ..BERMUDA.. ..BHUTAN.. ..BOLIVIA.. ..BOTSWANA.. ..BOUVET ISLAND.. ..BRAZIL.. ..BRUNEI DARUSSALAM.. ..BULGARIA.. ..BURKINA FASO.. ..BURUNDI.. ..CAMBODIA.. ..CAMEROON.. ..CAPE VERDE.. ..CAYMAN ISLANDS.. ..CHAD.. ..CHILE.. ..CHINA.. ..CHRISTMAS ISLAND.. ..COLOMBIA.. ..COMOROS.. ..CONGO.. ..COOK ISLANDS.. ..COSTA RICA.. ..COTE D'IVOIRE.. ..CROATIA.. ..CUBA.. ..CYPRUS.. ..CZECH REPUBLIC.. ..DENMARK.. ..DJIBOUTI.. ..DOMINICA.. ..DOMINICAN REPUBLIC.. ..EAST TIMOR.. ..ECUADOR.. ..EGYPT.. ..EL SALVADOR.. ..EQUATORIAL GUINEA.. ..ERITREA.. ..ESTONIA.. ..ETHIOPIA.. ..FALKLAND ISLANDS.. ..FAROE ISLANDS.. ..FIJI.. ..FINLAND.. ..FRANCE.. ..FRENCH GUIANA.. ..FRENCH POLYNESIA.. ..GABON.. ..GAMBIA.. ..GEORGIA.. ..GERMANY.. ..GHANA.. ..GIBRALTAR.. ..GREECE.. ..GREENLAND.. ..GRENADA.. ..GUADELOUPE.. ..GUAM.. ..GUATEMALA.. ..GUINEA.. ..GUINEA-BISSAU.. ..GUYANA.. ..HAITI.. ..HONDURAS.. ..HONG KONG.. ..HUNGARY.. ..ICELAND.. ..INDIA.. ..INDONESIA.. ..IRAN.. ..IRAQ.. ..IRELAND.. ..ISRAEL.. ..ITALY.. ..JAMAICA.. ..JAPAN.. ..JORDAN.. ..KAZAKSTAN.. ..KENYA.. ..KIRIBATI.. ..KUWAIT.. ..KYRGYZSTAN.. ..LATVIA.. ..LEBANON.. ..LESOTHO.. ..LIBERIA.. ..LIECHTENSTEIN.. ..LITHUANIA.. ..LUXEMBOURG.. ..MACAU.. ..MACEDONIA.. ..MADAGASCAR.. ..MALAWI.. ..MALAYSIA.. ..MALDIVES.. ..MALI.. ..MALTA.. ..MARSHALL ISLANDS.. ..MARTINIQUE.. ..MAURITANIA.. ..MAURITIUS.. ..MAYOTTE.. ..MEXICO.. ..MICRONESIA.. ..MOLDOVA.. ..MONACO.. ..MONGOLIA.. ..MONTSERRAT.. ..MOROCCO.. ..MOZAMBIQUE.. ..MYANMAR.. ..NAMIBIA.. ..NAURU.. ..NEPAL.. ..NETHERLANDS.. ..NETHERLANDS ANTILLES.. ..NEW CALEDONIA.. ..NEW ZEALAND.. ..NICARAGUA.. ..NIGER.. ..NIGERIA.. ..NIUE.. ..NORFOLK ISLAND.. ..NORTHERN MARIANA ISLANDS.. ..NORWAY.. ..OMAN.. ..PAKISTAN.. ..PALAU.. ..PANAMA.. ..PAPUA NEW GUINEA.. ..PARAGUAY.. ..PERU.. ..PHILIPPINES.. ..PITCAIRN.. ..POLAND.. ..PORTUGAL.. ..PUERTO RICO.. ..QATAR.. ..REUNION.. ..ROMANIA.. ..RUSSIAN FEDERATION.. ..RWANDA.. ..SAINT HELENA.. ..SAINT KITTS AND NEVIS.. ..SAINT LUCIA.. ..SAINT PIERRE AND MIQUELON.. ..SAINT VINCENT.. ..SAMOA.. ..SAN MARINO.. ..SAO TOME AND PRINCIPE.. ..SAUDI ARABIA.. ..SENEGAL.. ..SEYCHELLES.. ..SIERRA LEONE.. ..SINGAPORE.. ..SLOVAKIA.. ..SLOVENIA.. ..SOLOMON ISLANDS.. ..SOMALIA.. ..SOUTH AFRICA.. ..SPAIN.. ..SRI LANKA.. ..SUDAN.. ..SURINAME.. ..SVALBARD AND JAN MAYEN.. ..SWAZILAND.. ..SWEDEN.. ..SWITZERLAND.. ..SYRIAN ARAB REPUBLIC.. ..TAIWAN.. ..TAJIKISTAN.. ..TANZANIA.. ..THAILAND.. ..TOGO.. ..TOKELAU.. ..TONGA.. ..TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO.. ..TUNISIA.. ..TURKEY.. ..TURKMENISTAN.. ..TURKS AND CAICOS ISLANDS.. ..TUVALU.. ..UGANDA.. ..UKRAINE.. ..UNITED ARAB EMIRATES.. ..URUGUAY.. ..UZBEKISTAN.. ..VANUATU.. ..VENEZUELA.. ..VIETNAM.. ..VIRGIN ISLANDS, BRITISH.. ..VIRGIN ISLANDS, U.S... ..WALLIS AND FUTUNA.. ..WESTERN SAHARA.. ..YEMEN.. ..YUGOSLAVIA.. ..ZAMBIA.. ..ZIMBABWE.. .. .. .. .. .... .. .... ....Please click here if you would like to receive all emails from John McLaughlin, even if a message is not targeted to my area. .... .. .. .. .. ...... .. .. ......Fan list management by FanBridge.com.. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
