One of Rolling Stone's Top 100 Guitarists of All Time, John McLaughlin returns in peak form with Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2022, a stunning performance captured at one of the world's most iconic musical stages.
A trailblazer who reshaped jazz fusion through his work with Miles Davis, the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and Shakti, McLaughlin brings over five decades of innovation to this electrifying 90-minute set. Backed by his longtime band The 4th Dimension and featuring award-winning Cuban pianist Jany McPherson as special guest, this release is a masterclass in genre-defying musicianship.
The setlist draws from every corner of McLaughlin's expansive musical journey, including fan favorites like "New Blues Old Bruise" and "El Hombre Que Sabia" — a heartfelt tribute to friend and flamenco legend Paco De Lucia. The band also delivers inspired renditions of Pharoah Sanders' spiritual jazz epic "The Creator Has a Master Plan" and Piero Piccioni's cinematic gem "The Light at the Edge of the World."
Recorded with cutting-edge mobile technology and mixed by George Murphy (Shakti, Mumford and Sons, Ellie Goulding) at Eastcote Studios in London, Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2022 is more than a concert — it's an immersive experience that captures the soul, skill, and spontaneity of a guitar legend hailed by Jeff Beck as "the greatest living guitarist."
