Pre-Fathers day reprise

It's not yet Father's day, but I needed a show to post this week, and I like this one from June 2010. This show featured a release by fusion guitarist John McLaughlin titled "To the One" and is inspired by the work of John Coltrane. Although you can't really point to any of the compostions as having a feeling similar to Coltrane's classics, McLaughlins soloing always had that "Sheets of Sound" feeling that Trane was noted for. Other notable recordings in this podcast are a Fathers day set with Jimmy Greene and Victor Wooten (doing Horace Silvers "Song for My Father), and a Mingus set. Happy Fathers day to all you jazz lovin' Pops.
