Floating Point (Sony/Abstract Logix, 2008)
Fans of jazz electric guitar will appreciate this fine double disc album by John McLaughlin. Disc One has 8 tracks with over one hour of fusion jazz featuring musicians from the Indian and Western tradition: Shivamani, Ranjit Barot, Louiz Banks, George Brooks, Shankar Mahadevan and Hadrien Fernaud.
Our picks on this disc include Five Peace Band, Abbaji (dedicated to the late great tabla maestro Alla Rakha), Maharina and Inside Out. The second disc is a DVD of the making of the music on this album, and is a fine treat for music fans as well.
