Jazz guitar player John McLaughlin will perform in Bucharest on May 17, the third concert he will have played here. The show is part of McLaughlin’s 4th Dimension Tour 2010, which will start on April 22.

In 1970 he started an electric band called the Mahavishnu Orchestra which played jazz and rock with eastern and Indian influences. McLaughlin accompanied Miles Davis on his landmark electric jazz-fusion albums In A Silent Way, Bitches Brew and Jack Johnson. He also worked with Jimmy Hendrix and Carlos Santana and was part of the Guitar Trio with Al Di Meola and Paco DeLucia. Together the three went on a world tour and recorded an album of the same name.
