Remember Shakti

Tienda John McLaughlin made his mark in jazz by blazing a speed-freak guitar trail through the electric thickets and torrential rhythms. Then there was Shakti, the East Indian-meets-fusion band McLaughlin founded after Mahavishnu. Revisiting Shakti on this 1997 two-CD set recorded live on a British tour, John McLaughlin sounds at once flashy and deferential, ever keenly after the most excitable guitar lines balanced against rushes of rhythm--and willing not to shine brightest. This Shakti lineup includes original member Zakir Hussain on tabla and T.H. Vinayakram on ghatam, and the core group gets additional help from Hariprasad Chaurasia on bansuri flute and Uma Metha on tanpura on more than half these two-plus hours of riveting music. For fans of McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra feverishness, there is plenty of heat in the guitar, even though it's played filmily enough so that the hand percussion and deep flute winds blow through. --Andrew Bartlett Review Englishman John McLaughlin exploded upon the American jazz scene in the late '60s with Tony Williams' fusion trio, Lifetime. McLaughlin was only with the band for a couple of albums, but he went on to make more fusion history with his Mahavishnu Orchestra. Then, in the mid-'70s, he made a radical turn and formed Shakti, a short-lived group that combined traditional Indian ragas with jazz, blues, and rock. McLaughlin's newest album, the two-disc set Remember Shakti, features recordings of live 1997 performances that find him playing with Shakti percussionists Zakir Hussain and T.H. Vinayakram, as well as bamboo flutist Hariprasad Chaurasia. The music is in the tradition of Shakti, and some old Shakti tunes are covered.--- JAZZIZ Magazine Copyright © 2000, Milor Entertainment, Inc. -- From Jazziz
