CLEAN 1971 "DAWN RECORDS" BRITISH ORIG!
JOHN McLaughlin BAND
Where Fortune Smiles
UK - DAWN RECORDS - DAWN RECORDS - DNLS 3018
TOP COPY
ORIGINAL 1971 first pressing ... in great gatefold cover on the highly collected BRITISH Dawn Records label home to legendary early 70's UK progressive albums... transparent vinyl when held to light, meaning 100% first print...
A great companion to McLaughlin`s phenomenal 1969 debut Extrapolation in a renewed association with super-reedsman John Surman. Again, this is not really a McLaughlin solo effort but a collaborative effort with four outstanding musicians from the post bop school conducting elaborate free-form jazz experiments.
The album contains six long tracks which are more or less improvisations over initially stated themes. Oddly, vibraphone replaces the keyboards of the day such as the Hammond organ or a Fender-Rhodes piano. It definitely offers some contrast and we even get to hear a piece centered around this instrument. As for McLaughlin`s playing, he`s much more focused and sure of himself than on the patchy My Goals Beyond, where he can`t decide whether he`s a jazz-man or a raga-man while appearing as a Jimi Hendrix re-incarnation on the psychedelic Devotion, both of which are also from the 1970-71 period. He sounds like a jazzman more than ever here and Dave Holland`s double bass gives the quintet an even "jazzier" feel. Although devoid of any fusion or rock influences McLaughlin`s playing does get devious at times foreshadowing some elements of the firebreathing Mahavishnu Orchestra with heated exchanges between guitar, winds and vibes.
Overshadowed by the onslaught of the fusion jazz movement which turned ears away from purer forms of jazz which were uncontaminated with technological advancements and rock influences, Where fortune Smiles contains some innovative contemporary jazz in the free form mode which is worth turning the clock back for.
