Photo essay: John McLaughlin @ the Boulder Theater

When one thinks of John McLaughlin, several amazing parts of musical history come to mind: Shakti, MIles Davis, the guitar trio with Al Dimeola and Paco de Lucia and Mahavishnu Orchestra, just to name a few.

Throughout the years, McLaughlin has cemented his reputation as one of jazz’s most virtuosic guitarists. His musical mastery again shone through Saturday night at the Boulder Theater, where he and his band, the 4th Dimension, kept the large crowd mesmerized. The quartet, consisting of McLaughlin on guitar, bassist Etienne M’bappe, drummer Mark Mondesir and multi-instrumentalist Gary Husband on keyboards and drums, shredded any notion that jazz is dead, playing with a syncopated ferocity.

Hi Friends,
Just a note to go with the photos at the Nice Jazz Festival. You’ll see Chick Corea with the “Freedom Band” which includes luminaries such as Kenny Garrett, Christian McBride and legendary drummer Roy Haynes. Chick invited to go up for the last couple of numbers. Great!!!

It is summer on the Cote d’Azur in the South of France and between the festival of Juan-les-Pins and the Nice Festival in Cimiez there is so much wonderful music to be heard and seen.

I have to say what a pleasure it was to see my friend Paco in Montreux last week playing, as usual, in top form.

John in Montreux Festival 2010

Like almost every year we are spending our summer holidays in Montreux during the time of the Jazz Festival. It is the greatest festival in Europe thanks to the founder Claude Nobs.

On the second day , while we were biking along the lake, I got a phone call from Claude asking if I could be jamming that evening with Billy Cobham, before the concert of Roxy Music. The opening act ‘Melissa auf der Maur’ couldn’t make their flight from Canada, and Claude needed a ‘replacement’. I hadn’t seen Billy for 25 years and immediately liked the idea.

Claude called Billy , who lives in Bern and he also was happy to play. I didn’t have my guitar, and there was no rehearsal, it was a very spontaneous jam and we had lots of fun as you can see on these photos.
