John McLaughlin Industrial Zen When it comes to jazz guitar, it was a less prominent instrument compared to wind instruments and piano until around the 1960s, but from the 1970s onwards, the guitar was always at the center of jazz. John McLaughlin is exactly that central figure, and without a doubt, the strongest guitarist who led jazz from then on. This work is a 2006 release on "Verve." It's an all-original work leaning towards jazz-rock/fusion. Rather than a culmination of his past activities, it's a work packed with McLaughlin's new ideas that are still overflowing. The backing musicians are an incredibly luxurious and powerful lineup including Eric Johnson, Vinnie Colaiuta, Bill Evans, Matthew Garrison, Tony Grey, Dennis Chambers, Gary Husband, and Zakir Hussain. 1 For Jaco 2 New Blues Old Bruise 3 Wayne's Way 4 Just So Only More So 5 To Bop Or Not To Be 6 Dear Dalai Lama 7 Senor C.S. 8 Mother Nature Guitar – Eric Johnson Guitar, etc. – John McLaughlin Bass – Hadrien Feraud Bass – Matthew Garrison Bass – Tony Grey Drums – Vinnie Colaiuta Drums – Gary Husband Drums – Mark Mondesir Drums – Dennis Chambers Tabla – Zakir Hussain Synthesizer – Otmaro Ruiz Sopranino Saxophone – Ada Rovatti Keyboards – Gary Husband Sopranino Saxophone – Bill Evans Although it is a beautiful item, it is being sold as a used item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are at all concerned.
