John McLaughlin continues to be an important face in the idiom of jazz fusion as we can guess from here. Well, this shouldn't suggest he rest on his laurels, because he keeps recording despite announcing his retirement every once in a while. However, his latest works don't show him slowing down. I mean, he even established another supporting band of his, the 4th Dimension, which basically finds him making a complex idiom even more complex, if that is possible. Sure, the results can sound generic , if you just glean them with your ears – the production is way too clean here at some points –, yet do not do this. Dare to pay attention to hear the incredible intricacies only jazz fusion can do. Yes, Mr. McLaughlin continues to challenge himself.
