On a windy cloudy saturday morning, I need some cool chill out music to awake the old bones in my body, while I have my usual coffee (can´t seem to stop this old habbit - drinking coffee).
So on a morning like this. What could possibly be better for this than the duo John McLaughlin (acoustic guitar) & Chick Corea (piano)?. The song is "Turn Around" 10:43.
Both John (originator of the Mahawishnu Orchestra), who is my most favoured guitarist of all in jazz/classical music, and Chick (R.T.F. and Originations) whose records I have always loved, made this one time duo and recording at July 15th at the Montreux Jazz Festival 1981.
If any of you guys want this album on your shelves, you better prepare yourself for a chock. It belongs to a hole set of 16 albums in John McLaughlin´s name, all recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival during the years 1974-1999, released by Warner Bros., Schwitzerland 2000. To get this one you have to buy the lot.
So if you don´t have reasonable good relations to your bank, not to mention your every day partner in life - don´t even think about it. It´s a heavy economical investment.
Is it worth it then? One can not discuss taste. But if you´re into John McLaughlin and have followed his career in jazz, I will say yes.
Now ya all have a great weekend.
