John McLaughlin was already considered the world’s best guitarist at the age of 30. The “Killer”, as Miles Davis called him, belongs to the cream of jazz musicians and has also worked closely with Carlos Santana, Al Di Meola and Paco de Lucia. Rolling Stone listed McLaughlin as one of the 100 best guitarists of all time.

The world musician and Grammy award winner from Yorkshire bundles the creative power, the joy of playing and the cultural openness for all these experiences into a fascinating rarity: Sophisticated, virtuoso, improvised music that is as emotional as it is rousing, especially when experienced live.

“Every concert is emotional. It’s the emotion that is the gasoline for the engine, if you like. Without the emotion, you have nothing to do.”
