March of last year, John McLaughlin and his 4th Dimension Band played to an enthusiastic crowd @ the Sofitel Sunset Pavilion. Some of you were there.

NO Manila!!! I exchanged emails with Souvik Dutta of AbstractLogix (founder of the label and promoter) in early September. They were finalizing then the tour sked/airline tics and gave me literally 48 hours to confirm a Manila show in October. They suggested October 20 or 21...after Indonesia and before Japan. Sadly, local promoters weren't that thrilled about bringing a group that was just here last March 2014. So that's that.

Yes tony...how about you and I fly to HK and see them on October 30!!! :devil: Let's go!!! Incidentally, my younger brother in Victoria will be at the Melbourne concert on the 13th of October with my 19-year old niece. Not huge jazz fans by any stretch but after seeing Pat Metheny's Unity Band (with Chris Potter) there last year, they're hooked! They said they have not seen or heard anything like it. They are in for a rude awakening...McLaughlin is out of this stratosphere!
