John McLaughlin – Liberation Time (Abstract Logix)

John McLaughlin – Liberation Time (Abstract Logix)

Mastering “Few will come close to rivalling Liberation Time. It has inspired a flood of new creativity in McLaughlin, whose career was already defined by seemingly endless creativity.

Mastering “Earlier this year, on a two-night stand at Ronnie Scott’s, the 75-year-old guitar giant John McLaughlin (Jeff Beck, Pat Metheny and Chick Corea are among his famous fans, but he has also been a key pioneer of Asian-western fusions) spliced new material from his 4th Dimension quartet’s 2015 Black Light album with reworkings of his classic 70s jazz-fusion […]

Lea Delaria– The Live Smoke Sessions ( Warner Jazz )

Kevin Henderson– Fin da Laand Ageen (Sungaet)   

Mastering “In its understated way this collection beautifully illustrates the often made point that traditional tunes need only to be played, not played about with, to maintain their currency, charm and power. Henderson plays with a lightness of touch and gracefulness that bring out myriad qualities……a pared down seductive gem” Rob Adams, The Sunday Herald
