Shakti! with U. Shrinivas on mandolin. John McLaughlin- guitar Zakir Hussain- tabla V. Selvaganesh- percussion Shankar Mahadevan- voice Blessings blissfulness compassion 🙏 ✨️ 🕉
JM goes full beast mode in "Ma No Pa" starting 57:50 Incredible rendition of the track! It'd always been a rhythmically complex Jazz track, but JM added a rock flavour to this with the tone of his guitar here!!
And now Shakti's new record: "This Moment"! With the first track "Shrini's Dream" dedicated to him. 🎉 John mentions it at the recent shows. 🕉 Incredible musician. So great to have these videos.
JM is so enthusiastic and in tune with his friends, playing wonderful music that crosses boundaries. He is a truly "world musician" who has surpassed even his achievements playing with Miles and leading Mahavishnu. A wonderful upload-thank you!
John McLaughlin is one of the greatest guitarists alive. When asked to define what truly great music is, Rachmaninoff said something like, “…after everything is said and done, the only true criterion of Great Music is the melody…” In that sense, the genre doesn't mean much. Melody, harmonies transcend the barriers of any one single genre. If Stevie Wonder lived in the 18-th century, he would be creating symphonies and concertos. In that same sense, John McLaughlin has played - created - in a variety of genres, from jazz-rock to fusion to even blues. It takes a beautiful and capable mind to be able to transcend the boundaries of genres and to creatively collaborate with musicians of so many different backgrounds. Hats off to John McLaughlin.
Did you know Shakti has a new record called "This Moment"? The first track is dedicated to him: "Shrini's Dream" with John mentioning it at the concerts. Incredible musician- with these great documents! 🕉
Had the privilege of seeing the original Shakti perform twice in Los Angeles at the Santa Monica Civic and the Roxy in Hollywood. Sat 10 feet away. Then caught up with JM in Hong Kong 22 years later. One of the greatest musicians of my time.
the one and only piece "you know you know" included after 1:08h (originally played first with the Mahavishnu Orchestra in the 70th. (A Tuning rythmn sometime overlayed with a straight blues pattern and also adding shakti melodes. Enough space in that "break" between the "you know" theme to improvise for the indian masters (including half-indian John, i mean musically)
Srinivasgaru, saw you once long ago in concert and, thank you for giving us the pleasure and gift of your out of this world virtuoso of talent. Gone too soon. 🙏🙏🙏
Shanker Mahadevan was already very busy composing for Bollywood movies together with his partners Ehsan and Loy..yet he managed to give performances such as this one..
I Always Loved how these 2 Cultures Blended in Total Harmony In All These Recordings over the years..Proof That We can All Exist In Togetherness..This IS MAGIC!!! They And We Are All Joined! And In Harmony..Just Give It A chance.
I don't recognise it as being anything McLaughlin has recorded or written before. It's a simple rhythmic vamp on one chord resolving the minor 3rd to a major 3rd. If it really does remind you of something, it might be the first piece on the Miles Davis "Tribute To Jack Johnson" album (the rocking piece kicking off with Cobham playing a simple beat) in which McLaughlin does something very similar, vamping on one chord, this time creating tension between a bluesy 7th and 7sus4 (like Lennon in the snappy intro riff on Doctor Robert, the Revolver album).
"Florianapolis" The ultimate versions are played by The John McLaughlin Trio. Check out the Theatrehaus Stuttgart, March 1989 version, with Trilok Gurtu cooking up a storm on percussion.
I freaking love Remember Shakti but man his guitar tone is an odd choice, sounds more like HIFI clipping than natural tube distortion. And I'm glad his experimenting with the tremolo arm was a brief fling. I feel it doesn't come naturally to him, and that's possibly why he pretty much abandoned it after a while. He does the dip dip dip thing a la Jimi Hendrix, and then uses it to make the last note of a phrase quickly swoop, a la Jeff Beck/David Gilmour. It detracts from, rather than enhances his playing. He doesn't need it, he's John McLaughlin, the most incredible guitarist alive 🙏
Some of these pieces are years old, played by McLaughlin with different varying musicians. The themes were composed by McLaughlin, certain recognisable phrases repeated throughout each piece. The musicians are then free to springboard off the theme to improvise, returning occasionally to play the theme unique to that piece.
Has transcended from a sketch of an idea just a couple of minutes long, on the Inner Worlds album, to a work of such tender beauty. The tone Srinivas gets out of that electric mandolin is just gorgeous. It reminds me a little of Hank Marvin at his most expressive.
I don’t know what kind of voodoo this is but these guys can’t even afford chairs...or drum sticks...what the hell is this? Is that guy playing a spittoon? Pretty sure the old coot is on drugs...was hopin’they we’re gonna break into swing low sweet chariot...very disappointing
whatever drugs he's on, I'd like some. But JM is famous for being sober I think. Truly one of the greatest guitar players of all time. Maybe you need to do some solid listening. News flash btw: many cultures are not super into chairs.

Incredible musician. So great to have these videos.
Saw this group in concert about a year ago. Probably the most amazing concert I've ever seen.
JM is so enthusiastic and in tune with his friends, playing wonderful music that crosses boundaries. He is a truly "world musician" who has surpassed even his achievements playing with Miles and leading Mahavishnu. A wonderful upload-thank you!
As you say " JM crosses boundaries," his work with Paco de Lucia, is a joy to listen to, confirming his cross musical interest.

Yes He IS!
They ALL Are.
Is he alive now. I am sorry to ask this but acc to Google he is alive and his birth year is 1942 and somewhere else , it's given 1927 - 2016.
agree totally !!!!!!!
RIP Srinivas. Sad loss gone way too soon.

La magie musicale n'a pas de frontières
No words available 🎉 just loving the music ❤❤❤❤
SHAKTI was for me the best group ever. This band comes near to it.
same band with two more and one less ( L Shankar )!
Sometimes I really miss the "JOY" in Shakti without him.
Had the privilege of seeing the original Shakti perform twice in Los Angeles at the Santa Monica Civic and the Roxy in Hollywood. Sat 10 feet away. Then caught up with JM in Hong Kong 22 years later. One of the greatest musicians of my time.
It s impossible that McLaughlin be greater than he is. Awesome, amazing, brilliant. Master
All is possible . You have to believe for . Are you a believer ??
WattEarth 1 "I'm a Believer!"
Please do not forget Jimmy Hendrix
To whoever recorded this: you did a great job, thank you very much. The sound quality is very good.
this made me laugh before two minutes were up. Laughing/giggling>smiling with JOY! 😁😁😁
fabulous - 'tis the vocal that made you giggle ?
R.I.P., Shrinivas. You gave so much.

Can some please let me know what is the theme which starts at 15:35. I am sure I heard it somewhere else...just a beautiful rendition.
I find it similar to this ua-cam.com/video/L0H0qo0cSyc/v-deo.html

are they improvise?
Yes , 95% improvise
Some of these pieces are years old, played by McLaughlin with different varying musicians. The themes were composed by McLaughlin, certain recognisable phrases repeated throughout each piece. The musicians are then free to springboard off the theme to improvise, returning occasionally to play the theme unique to that piece.
