The exceptionally talented Jazz artist John Mclaughlin has released him CD entitled Industrial Zen. I am very confident and happy to announce that I believe John Mclaughlin fans, and Jazz fans alike will be pleased with this one. With the release of Industrial Zen John Mclaughlin’s artistic excellence is on full display as Mclaughlin has once again delivered a brilliant collection of tracks that could very well be him best work to date.

John Mclaughlin has been a super star in the Jazz genre for quite some time now and Industrial Zen is an excellent illustration as to why.

Jazz music fans will recognize some of the well known contributors on the project including Bill Evans and Gary Husband plus a few other notables as well.

Overall Industrial Zen is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Jazz collection. Truly an outstanding Jazz CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.

While this entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 2 – New Blues Old Bruise, track 5 – To Bop Or Not To Be, and track 8 – Mother Nature

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 – For Jaco. What a nice track!  Read more...
