Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning to a largely acoustic group format after his electric Mahavishnu Orchestra triumphs, the legendary guitarist formed 'The Translators' for this vibrant recording. The album heavily features French pianist Katia Lab猫que, intertwining dazzling, flamenco-inspired acoustic guitar runs with intricate, highly technical classical and jazz-rock structures. It represents a joyous, acoustic-driven highlight of McLaughlin's mid-career output.
