John McLaughlin and 4th Dimension Back For Barbican Show
Thursday, November 29, 2018
Legendary jazz-rock guitarist John McLaughlin has just announced a return to the live arena for a show at London’s Barbican Hall on 23 April 2019.
This will come as very welcome news to fans of the guitar icon following his last two UK concerts at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in March 2017 as part of the Jazzwise 20th Anniversary Festival, and his farewell tour of the US late last year.
He’ll be joined by his powerful virtuoso group The 4th Dimension, featuring electric bassist Étienne M’Bappé, pianist/drummer Gary Husband and drummer Ranjit Barot all of whom are featured on McLaughlin’s most recent album Live in San Francisco, alongside Jimmy Herring & The Invisible Whip, as both groups revisited the music of Mahavishnu Orchestra on that final US tour.
