JOHN McLAUGHLIN: THE PROMISE

Now available exclusively at www.Hip-OSelect.com and available to all retailers November 2

John McLaughlin is universally recognized as one of the world's greatest guitarists. His pioneering recordings range from his landmark work with Miles Davis and Tony Williams, his own fusion recordings with The Mahavishnu Orchestra and his dazzling solo work in jazz and world music.

In 1996, McLaughlin released The Promise, an album that encapsulated his diverse resumé but has since gone out of print. Guests included fellow guitarists Jeff Beck, Al DiMeola and Paco de Lucia. Jazz heavyweights such as organist Joey DeFrancesco, saxophonists David Sanborn and Michael Brecker and the singular Sting also contributed. And in traditional McLaughlin fashion, renowned world music musicians Zakir Hussain, Nishat Khan and Trilok Gurtu also appeared, among others. The Promise, which McLaughlin produced, was quickly recognized as a modern classic. Out of print for more than a decade, The Promise returns to retail on November 2.
