JOHN McLAUGHLIN AND THE 4th DIMENSION
September 27 Town Hall, 8:00 pm John Mclaughlin returns to New York's Town Hall (123 West 43 St). In his first fusion band concert in ten years, John Mclaughlin and the 4th Dimension with Gary Husband on keyboards, Mark Mondesir on drums and Hadrien Feraud on bass.From Al DiMeola, Pat Metheny, and Mike Stern to John Scofield, Bill Connors, and Scott Henderson, John McLaughlin has been a strong influence on many of the top jazz/fusion guitarists of the last 30 years. McLaughlin's classic recordings of the 1970s have long been regarded as essential listening for anyone with even a casual interest in fusion, and if the British improviser had decided to retire in 1980, he still would have gone down in history as one of jazz-rock's most influential axemen.

The Seventies found Bromberg on his own, releasing a series of solo albums starting with a self-titled album for Columbia in 1971. His next two albums, DEMONS IN DISGUISE and WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE, included guest appearances by members of the Grateful Dead. MIDNIGHT ON THE WATER featured appearances by Emmylou Harris, Linda Ronstadt, Dr. John, Bonnie Raitt and others. For Fantasy Records, Bromberg released five albums, including the highly regarded, HOW LATE'LL YA PLAY'TIL? He has recorded with many other musicians, including Vassar Clements and D.J. Fontana on the critically acclaimed HILLBILLY JAZZ.
Roots music fans around the world are rejoicing with the release of TRY ME ONE MORE TIME, Bromberg's first new CD in almost two decades. A master practitioner of folk, blues, bluegrass and other musical genres, his new recording is undiluted David: one man, one acoustic guitar, and a repertoire of mostly traditional material performed with the intimate, assured touch of a musician who has nothing to prove.
Impossible to pigeonhole, Bromberg's concert appearances present an entertaining view into his innovative resourcefulness and musical versatility. He is a product of every contemporary musical form.
Opening the show is the Angel Band: Nancy Josephson, Jen Schonwald and Kathleen Weber. Their voices combine to create a truly joyful noise. Backed by Bromberg, Bob Taylor and Bobby Tangrea, their ethereal harmonies and classic roots music will make for a fine fall evening.
