It's been nearly 25 years since John McLaughlin has performed a headline show in Perth, having not toured with his own band since 1991. McLaughlin was last here for as part of Perth International Arts Festival with Chick Corea as part of their Five Peace Band project in 2009.

As a musician, composer and bandleader, John McLaughlin’s contribution to contemporary improvisational music is undeniable.

From his work with Miles Davis during the legendary “Bitches Brew” and “Jack Johnson” sessions, then with Mahavishnu Orchestra, with Shakti and now with his current band, The 4th Dimension, McLaughlin’s work has obliterated the boundaries dividing jazz, rock and global musical traditions.

Now, John McLaughlin is prepared to break through yet again, with what he feels is his most personal statement to date: Black Light, due for release this spring.
