John Mclaughlin - Lockdown Blues
#JazzFM #Jazz #NowPlaying #JohnMclaughlin
New #review today: "#GaryHusband's work with #AllanHoldsworth and #JohnMcLaughlin alone gives him a high profile, and there are so many more artists he’s worked with. But he’s also been working as a leader of his own projects, and Postcards from the Past serves as an entry point to that work. But it doesn’t just feature tracks from his releases — it contains a wealth of material that’s never been available before." #ExposeOnline #jazz #JazzRock http://expose.org/index.php/articles/display/gary-husband-postcards-from-the-past-2.html

Sitar? Tabla? Harmon mute? 7/4 meter? Recorded a few months after the Bitches Brew sessions in 1969, here's "Great Expectations."

Music for Abandoned Heights - Title

YouTube

Listen to Miles Davis' "Right Off," recorded in 1970, released in 1971 as part of "A Tribute to Jack Johnson." Got Billy Cobham hittin' the 2 and 4 accents for that rock beat now. Likely should be played loud.

Right Off

YouTube

The logical next music to visit with, after "Filles de Kilimanjaro," is "In a Silent Way" (1969). Listen to "It's About that Time." Miles hasn't hooked up a wa-wa pedal yet, but Wayne has switched to soprano, and McLaughlin has arrived. The sound is evolving quickly.

It's About That Time

YouTube

The Inner Mounting Flame is the debut studio album by jazz-rock fusion band Mahavishnu Orchestra, recorded in August 1971 and released later that year by Columbia Records. After their formation, the group performed several gigs before they entered the studio to record their first album featuring all original material written by guitarist John McLaughlin. The album is credited to both Mahavishnu Orchestra and John McLaughlin.

Reviewing the album for JazzTimes in 1998, Bill Milkowski said:

...Cobham’s smoldering intensity on the kit and McLaughlin’s raging, distortion-soaked guitar lines, ...really grabbed rock crowds. More ethereal pieces like "The Dance of Maya", with its odd time signatures and arpeggios, and the haunting "You Know, You Know", a drum feature for Cobham, helped to create a kind of mystique about the Mahavishnu Orchestra that was wholly unprecedented for its time.

“Fortuitously, a portion of the #jam was captured on tape and is available on YouTube. #DaveHolland features on bass, with #Buddy Miles behind the kit.
