Recorded: October 4-5, 1994, Clinton Studios, New York
John McLaughlin - Guitar, Producer
Joey DeFrancesco - Organ
Elvin Jones - Drums
British guitarist John McLaughlin's spiritual initiation into the American jazz scene came as a member of drummer Tony Williams' Lifetime--as futuristic an organ trio as you'd ever want to hear. During their two years together, Williams, McLaughlin and organist Larry Young scandalised the jazz and rock communities alike, yet what they documented on EMERGENCY and TURN IT OVER endures as a visionary paradigm of collective improvisation.
On AFTER THE RAIN, McLaughlin reintroduces the trio format (with Hammond organ wizard Joey DeFrancesco), and pays homage to one of his major influences, JohnColtrane, by collaborating with Trane's legendary drummer, Elvin Jones. In "Afro Blue", McLaughlin's single-note phrasing and sudden rhythmic outbursts reflect his affinity for Trane's approach, while he performs the ballad "Naima" with tender understatement. The whole band really comes together on"Tones for Elvin Jones". DeFrancesco's voluble solo sets the pace, and McLaughlin responds with patient thematic development, until he finally whips out some trademark runs, rousing Jones to a fine emotional lather.
In the early '70s John McLaughlin was one-third of the supergroup Lifetime with drummer Tony Williams and organist Larry Young. This particular CD from 1994 matches him with drummer Elvin Jones and organist Joey DeFrancesco, but the music has little in common with Lifetime. Instead many of the tunes can be considered to be tributes to John Coltrane; Jones's participation certainly reinforces that connection. McLaughlin, back on electric guitar after several years sticking almost exclusively to acoustic, is in top form on such numbers as "Take the Coltrane," "My Favorite Things," "Crescent," and "Afro Blue." The improvising is advanced and colorful with DeFrancesco keeping the proceedings swinging, and even if the results are not quite classic, the collaboration is somewhat unique.
