Album Promise by John McLaughlin Review

John McLaughlin shoots out in many different directions during this very diverse release. He trades off with fellow guitarist Jeff Beck on "Django", jams his own "Thelonius Melodius" in a trio with organist Joey DeFrancesco and drummer Dennis Chambers, has a duet with DeFrancesco (who switches to trumpet) on "No Return", stretches out with tenor great Michael Brecker on the 14-and-a-half-minute "Jazz Jungle", collaborates on acoustic guitar with Paco de Luc�a and Al DiMeola, plays Indian music with Zakir Hussain and Trilok Gurtu, and interacts with altoist David Sanborn - among others. A good introduction to latter-day John McLaughlin, this colorful set has plenty of surprises.
