BWW Review: John McLaughlin and the 4th Dimension Impress at the Sheldon
by Chris Gibson - November 21, 2010
Legendary guitarist John McLaughlin is a special talent, and he brings a real sense of passion and spirituality to his live performances. From the opening notes of his concert at the Sheldon (November 19, 2010), the audience was immediately spellbound by his hypnotic, and often challenging, musical landscapes, which act as a kind of framework for an incredible assemblage of musicians, known collectively as the 4th Dimension, to deconstruct and make anew via their own solo excursions. This was jazz in its purest form, with the melodies and progressions taking on new forms and rhythms as each instrumentalist took their turn interpreting and reshaping them.
