Captured on July 11th, 2022 at the legendary Auditorium Stravinski with special guest pianist and vocalist Jany McPherson, this was no ordinary concert.
“It was a kind of magical night. There was something extra in the music and in the air.” – John McLaughlin
With over 52 years of Montreux history, McLaughlin delivers a stunning performance where the connection between band and audience is palpable. A perfect example? The brand-new video for “Mr. DC” – dedicated to Modern Drummer Hall of Famer Dennis Chambers and showcasing playful interplay between McPherson’s piano and vocals and the dual drumming of Gary Husband and Nicolas Viccaro.
From his pioneering work with Mahavishnu Orchestra, to collaborations with Santana, The Rolling Stones, Al Di Meola, and Paco de Lucía, John McLaughlin has redefined jazz fusion.
Live at Montreux Jazz Festival 2022 is the latest chapter in a legendary career – a night of music you’ll want to relive again and again.
