John McLaughlin/France 2016

Fourth Dimension, led by John McLaughlin, which was a highlight at the 2015 Montreux Jazz Festival Japan, held the annual jazz festival “Jazz” in France on August 2, 2016.・Complete recording of the appearance at “In Marciac Festival” with official quality, stereo sound board sound source from the local radio on-air master. Of course, this is due to the unwavering lineup of Gary Husband (keyboards, drums), Etienne Mbappé (bass), and Ranjit Barot (drums), and their performances have become more technical and hard every year, with a Mahavishnu-like sound. From thrilling development to medium improvisation, and above all, the big point is that the set content is quite different from live to live. Mahavishnu’s famous “You Know, You” Know” was performed at the end, but until then, a wide variety of numbers were performed with a strong ensemble. A must-listen item for jazz and rock fans who can reaffirm the awesomeness of today’s most exciting electric jazz group. DISC 1 : 01. John’s spoken introductions/02. Rahu/03. Little Miss Valley/04.
