John McLaughlin in Belgrade

Legendary jazz gitararsit John McLaughlin will perform on May 16 in Dom sindikata in Belgrade. In his almost 40 years long career he has recorded an incredible number of 40 albums, 12 as a leader, and 29 in groups and trios. In 2007 he began touring with a new jazz fusion quartet, the 4th Dimension, consisting of keybordist/drummer Gery Husband, bassist Hadrian Feraud, and drummer Mark Mondesir.

John McLaughlin (also Mahavishnu John McLaughlin), an English jazz fusion guitarist, came to prominence with Miles Davis' electric jazz-fusion groups from the late 1960. He is regarded by many as one of the most influential and technically gifted guitarists of all time, having mastered a remarkable range od styles and genres, including jazz, Indian classical music, and fusion. He has also incorporated aspects of flamenco music in some of his acoustic periods.

His electric band The Mahavishnu Orchestra performed a technically virtuosic and complex style of music that fused eclectic jazz and rock with eastern and Indian influences. After they split, McLaughlin worked with the band "Shakti", a pioneer of world music.He had already been studying Indian classical music and playing veena. In 1997 he teamed up with flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia and jazz guitarist Larry Coryell (replaced by Al Di Meola in the early 1980s) as the Guitar Trio, the virtuoso talents of all three musicians equally on display. In the late 1980s he recorded and performed live with a trio including bassist Kai Eckhardt and a phenomenal percussionist Trilok Gurtu.

His versatility as a musician and a composer-arranger had another validation in The Mediterranean Concerto, which he composed in 1986 and premiered with Los Angeles phylharmonic. His latest recording projects have been a ballet score, Thieves and Poets, realized in 2003 along with arrangements for classical guitar ensamble of favourite jazz standards, a three DVD instructional video on improvisation, another instructional DVD called The Gateway to Rhythm and an album entitled Industrial Zen.

Date: Friday 16 May 2008

My first post over here

I have thought that it will be easier to find a nice place to stay in Belgrade. It looks it isn't so easy after all. But I can see that companies are being aware that people from around the world are comming to Belgrade, and taking their oportunity to start their dot com business.

Anyways, so far I havent found anything really interesting except that there is somebody that started the blog about finding accommodation in Belgrade, Serbia just as me. That is a wordpress.com blog: Belgrade Apartments for rent!

There are a few posts by now, but the guy is finding some interesting stuff. Sounds nice, looks good, and the best of all: those are lot cheaper than the ones that I have bumped onto. But I'll keep looking. And I'll keep you posted. :) 

Also, found a link to one website, traveler informations for Serbia. Good stuff there. Worth of checking it out.
