“I’ve said it many times before – The MJF is the greatest Festival in the world. Having played there since 1971, I’m in a good position to make that statement. The night of this particular recording was no exception and we musicians rose to the occasion. This performance is outstanding for all of us. There was joy, virtuosity, and a fantastic collective experience…”-John McLaughlin
