From his wiry, Eastern-influenced solos on Miles Davis's BITCHES BREW through his world fusion forays with the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Shakti, guitar virtuoso John McLaughlin has always shown a keen interest in Indian music. Some 40 years into his career, that influence still holds sway, as 2008's FLOATING POINT attests. Though the synth guitar and polished production make the album less edgy than some of McLaughlin's work from the 1970s, there's no shortage of stunning instrumental work and bold, brain-bending ideas. Recorded in India with mostly Indian musicans, FLOATING POINT is another impressive notch in the guitar icon's lifelong pursuit of East-West fusion.

For Floating Point, which was recorded in India, McLaughlin used several of the best Indian musicians in the world. "Now while this CD features predominantly Indian musicians, we are in quite another form compared to the group Shakti," McLaughlin says. "

For the first time, an intimate view of what happens at a John McLaughlin recording session. Filmed over a period of 5 days, during the making of John's new record "Floating Point", you can see how great musicians work together with spontaneity and vitality. For this “meeting of the minds” John invited some of the most outstanding instrumentalists including Indian vocalist Shankar Mahadevan. Through the interviews of all musicians, you will get to know how they approach John's compositions. In addition, there is an extra audio track with John commenting on the entire recording. This movie lifts the curtain on the making of music today.

Personnel: John McLaughlin (guitar, synthesizer), Shankar Mahadevan (vocals); Debashish Bhattacharya (slide guitar); U. Rajesh (electric mandolin); Naveen Kumar (bamboo flute); George Brooks (soprano saxophone); Louis Banks, Loiuz Banks (keyboards); Hadrien Feraud (electric bass); Hadrien Faraud (bass guitar); Ranjit Barot (drums); Shashank, Sivamani (percussion).
