Our Take
Our Take
In the grand tradition of musical magic being conjured up at the Montreux Jazz Festival, Paco De Lucia and John McLaughlin's live collaboration in 1987 is a true gem of improvisational brilliance. The energy on this album is electric, like a lightning bolt striking a guitar string and sending sparks flying in every direction. From the first note, these two guitar maestros are locked in a musical conversation that is both playful and profound.
De Lucia's flamenco roots intertwine beautifully with McLaughlin's jazz sensibilities, creating a mesmerising fusion of styles that is as unpredictable as it is captivating. The intricate dance of their duelling guitars is a sight to behold, with each musician pushing the other to new heights of virtuosity.
Tracks like "Guardian Angel" and "David" showcase the duo's technical mastery and emotional depth, with De Lucia's fiery strumming complemented perfectly by McLaughlin's fluid, lightning-fast runs. The chemistry between the two musicians is palpable, as they feed off each other's energy and push each other to greater heights.
Overall, Paco De Lucia and John McLaughlin's Live at Montreux 1987 is a testament to the power of musical collaboration and the sheer joy of creating music in the moment. This album is a must-listen for any fan of guitar virtuosity and improvisational genius. Pitchfork gives it a solid 8.5 out of 10, with extra points for the undeniable sense of fun and camaraderie that permeates every note.
