2007 five CD set, a great installment in Sony/BMG's Original Album Classics series that brings together rare and out of print titles with some best sellers from the Sony/BMG Jazz catalog. Many of these albums have been unavailable on CD for some time and are sought after by collectors. Each set is presented in a high quality, rigid cardboard slipcase containing five 'vinyl replica' mini LP sleeves. This collection from the Jazz guitarist features the albums Shakti, A Handful Of Beauty, Natural Elements, Electric Guitarist and Inner Worlds.
This second box in Sony's German Original Album Classics series focuses on five titles from John McLaughlin's solo years immediately following the breakup of the Mahavishnu Orchestra (there is an OAC volume for that great band as well). Essentially, this box packages together import pressings of five individual titles (minus bonus tracks, but each with its original artwork). In this case they are Shakti, A Handful of Beauty , Natural Elements (both of the latter also with Shakti), Electric Guitarist, and Electric Dreams. Fans who already possess the U.S. versions of some or all of these albums need not bother with this -- though they do have marginally better sound. It can also be argued that Electric Dreams is a superfluous dog of an album. The three acoustic Shakti albums are indispensable, and Electric Guitarist is also a highly satisfying recording. Retail on these sets runs anywhere from 36 to 45 dollars, making them a decent buy for less than an import price. ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
John McLaughlin
Active Decades: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jan 04, 1942 in Yorkshire, England
Genre: Jazz
Styles: World Fusion, Chamber Jazz, Fusion, Post-Bop, Indian Classical, Jazz-Rock, Orchestral Jazz
One of fusion's most virtuosic guitar soloists, John McLaughlin placed his blazing speed in the service of a searching spiritual passion that has kept his music evolving and open to new influences. Whether shredding on electric, or simmering quietly on acoustic, McLaughlin's intensity and under-appreciated versatility nearly always kept his playing vital, and his best moments -- whether as a solo artist or bandmember -- represent some of fusion's greatest recordings. McLaughlin was born January 4, 1942, in Yorkshire, England, and began playing guitar at age 11. Initially attracted to blues and swing, he worked with British artists like Georgie Fame, Graham Bond, Brian Auger, and Ginger Baker. McLaughlin formed his own band in 1968, and recorded the excellent debut Extrapolation in early 1969. Later that year, he moved to New York to join Tony Williams' groundbreaking fusion band Lifetime, and appeared on the classic Emergency! Through Williams, McLaughlin was invited to join Miles Davis' band, and became an important part of fusion landmarks like In a Silent Way, Bitches Brew, and A Tribute to Jack Johnson. In 1970, wanting to explore acoustic and Eastern music, McLaughlin recorded the classic My Goal's Beyond; he soon left Davis, and after one further solo album, Devotion, McLaughlin spent some time woodshedding. He re-emerged in 1971 as leader of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, a seminal band that did much to define and popularize early jazz-rock fusion. Pausing to record Love, Devotion and Surrender with Carlos Santana in 1972, McLaughlin led Mahavishnu until 1975. Returning to spiritual preoccupations on My Goal's Beyond, he then formed Shakti, which fused acoustic jazz with Indian music over the course of three albums. McLaughlin returned to his solo career in the late '70s, forming a backing outfit called the One Truth Band, and also recording the guitar-trio albums Friday Night in San Francisco and Passion, Grace and Fire with fellow fusion burners Al DiMeola and Paco DeLucia. As the '80s went along, McLaughlin experimented with classicaljazz-hybrid composing; there was also a short-lived Mahavishnu reunion in the mid-'80s. McLaughlin has continued to record steadily in both electric and acoustic settings.
