John McLaughlin

To the One

With his new album ‘To The One’, iconic guitarist, 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 Coltrane’s 1965 spiritual jazz masterpiece ‘A Love Supreme’.

The music of ‘To The One’ was set down in the studio 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 multifaceted approach.

Young swiss multi-reedist lucien dubuis’ music is a tremendous roar of life, simple and heart-wrenching, humorous and violent.

Simultaneously modern and primitive, it achieves to be concept-driven while using a teenage language of revolution.

He makes the perfect collaborator for one of his heroes, avant-guitar guru marc ribot, best known for his work with waits, costello, zorn, plant & krauss, david sylvian and more.

A bonus 20 minute dvd shows the making of the new album.
