Album Notes & Community Reviews
Produced by George Martin, John McLaughlin formed an entirely new iteration of his jazz fusion powerhouse to collaborate directly with the London Symphony Orchestra. 'Apocalypse' is a remarkably lush, wildly eclectic orchestral masterpiece, weaving fiercely technical jazz-rock improvisation into beautifully complex, deeply progressive symphonic concertos.
