One of Rolling Stone's Top 100 Guitarists of All Time, John McLaughlin returns in peak form with Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2022, a stunning performance captured at one of the world's most iconic musical stages. The setlist draws from every corner of McLaughlin's expansive musical journey, including fan favorites like "New Blues Old Bruise" and "El Hombre Que Sabia"-a heartfelt tribute to friend and flamenco legend Paco de Lucia. The band also delivers inspired renditions of Pharoah Sanders' spiritual jazz epic "The Creator Has a Master Plan" and Piero Piccioni's cinematic gem "The Light at the Edge of the World." Recorded with cutting-edge mobile technology and mixed by George Murphy (Shakti, Mumford & Sons, Ellie Goulding) at Eastcote Studios in London, Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2022 is more than a concert-it's an immersive experience that captures the soul, skill, and spontaneity of a guitar legend hailed by Jeff Beck as "the greatest living guitarist."
