Album Notes & Community Reviews

The legendary British guitar virtuoso assembles a phenomenal acoustic trio featuring percussionist Trilok Gurtu and alternating bassists Kai Eckhardt and Dominique Di Piazza. 'Qu茅 Alegria' explores a vibrant fusion of intricate jazz improvisation with heavily pronounced flamenco and Latin American rhythms. The recording captures the incredibly fluid, high-velocity interplay that has defined McLaughlin's lengthy, cross-cultural career.
