John McLaughlin - Liberation Time - Vinyl LP
Release date 2021
One of John McLaughlin's guiding principles is based on an aphorism from composer Igor Stravinsky: "It's through restraints that I will find my freedom." In a career entering its seventh decade, McLaughlin has applied his understanding of conventional rhythm and harmony to find his path toward musical freedom. Liberation Time was (mostly) recorded during the Covid-19 pandemic, when human interaction was governed by new rules. He felt his only response -- and he considers Liberation Time exactly that -- was to make music with friends through headphones. With seven tracks recorded in Monaco, Paris, London, Cairo, and Los Angeles, and three different ensembles, McLaughlin and his collaborators solidly engage electric jazz as their engine of creativity.
