Inhalt: Neues Album des überaus virtuosen Gitarristen und Fusion-Vorreiter John McLaughlin. In den 1970er-Jahren setzte er Maßstäbe in Sachen grenzüberschreitender Jazzmusik. Sein Mahavishnu Orchestra vereinte Jazz, Rock und fernöstliche Spielweisen. Die aktuelle Platte ist wider sehr dicht und druckvoll. "With his group the 4th Dimension - Gary Husband on keyboards and occasional drums; Mark Mondesir on drums; and Cameroonian bassist Etienne M'Bappé -McLaughlin explores an electric jazz that is deeply and directly indebted to Coltrane's modal music and lyric interplay, and also to the emotional and spiritual aspects of the saxophonist's expressions ... 'To the One' is an inspired milestone for McLaughlin and a fine recorded introduction to one of the more exciting electric jazz groups in the 4th Dimension" (www.allmusic.com).
