Music reviews of To The One
Music Review: Spiritual tribute to Coltrane delivers!
Rating: 5 Stars
John McLaughlin is a guitar master of the highest order and in a career spanning decades he has returned with an album of music that pays homage to one of his own idols. This album showcases John McLaughlin's awesome skill on the guitar in both performance and composition while translating his deep respect of Coltrane's style. The entire album sizzles with energy and all the performances by the band members are intense. The recording is crystal clear and mixed and mastered perfectly giving it a very live feel. I have always admired John McLaughlin and his ability to produce intense music that reaches a part of you that just knows something special is happening. This is a stellar album and highly recommended to lovers of super high quality jazz. I haven't enjoyed a jazz fusion album this much since the last Dave Weckl Band album so if you like that type of high impact virtuosity then you should certainly add this to your collection. PS Check out the awesome reference to "Lila's Dance" from the Mahavishnu Orchestra album Visions of the Emerald Beyond - it is spine tingling hearing this melody and groove on the final track.
Description of 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, all delivered with a group empathy and shared vision that harkens back to Coltrane's fearless mid-'60s quartet of Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner, and Jimmy Garrison. The effect of Jones' kaleidoscopic approach to rhythm and drumming is especially felt, brilliantly recast and explored via McLaughlin's gift for complex metrical structures.Jazz CDs
