And though the middles were dominated by exhaustingly fast runs and patterns they weren’t bad either. He knows that speed isn’t everything; among those highly articulated runs he slowed down some phrases elongated some notes. As a whole fast and less fast his playing reflected a great deal: post-Coltrane jazz blues Indian music and some of his own work since the early 1970s. McLaughlin has usually toured with an acoustic guitar over the last decade but this was an electric jazz-fusion show straight up and down with speed and density and virtuosity. It included a keyboardist (Gary Husband) who played passages with flutelike or guitarlike sounds; a young bassist (Hadrien Feraud) who is inspired by Jaco Pastorius; and a drummer (Mark Mondesir) who hit hard on a big set with a lot of cymbal crashes. The band’s rhythms taking cues from Indian music were long sequences subdivided in different ways so that counting through the pieces was difficult; the melodies lay atop those long babbling streams of beats.

It doesn’t matter who we are or what our cultural and ethnic backgrounds are we can all appreciate and be moved by music equally” said event organizer Sean Scanlan whose sister helped Daniel Pearl’s parents organize the first music event in Los Angeles.

Taiwanese rock band Black Summer Days and music festival favorite Coach will join the music marathon along with the 10-piece Al’s Hothouse Chicago Jazz Band and the country trio Two Acres Plowed.
