"Marbles" is the legendary 1970 proto punk/dance classic from John McLaughlin's US debut album Deνotion, recorded at the time in which he played on Miles Davis' Bitches Brew and taped the Record Plant session with Jimi Hendrix. "Marbles" didn't just deliver jazz rock's most danceable 4/4 beat, played by Band of Gypsies/Electric Flag drummer Buddy Miles. It is also centered with a once-in-a-generation bass line performed by Billy Rich. Larry Young's otherworldly Hammond textures predate a lot of what synthesizers were about to do much later, and the blowtorch energy emanating from John McLaughlin's cranked amp went beyond what most would had dared during the defining era of heavy rock guitar. An apex achievement at the intersection of jazz rock, guitar rock and dance music without parallel, before or since. John McLaughlin arrived in New York in 1969 to join Tony Williams' new group Lifetime which also featured Larry Young and eventually Jack Bruce (of Cream). On the second day in town, he found himself in the studio with Miles Davis, recording "In a Silent Way." His playing would also take center stage in Bitches Brew, Jack Johnson, On The Corner and several other Davis key works of his much beloved first electric era. In between a busy schedule with Lifetime and Davis, McLaughlin also recorded two solo albums in 1970, Deνotion with an all-electric group and "My Goal's Bеyоnd" as its acoustic counterpart. By the time he formed his group Mahavishnu Orchestra in 1972, John McLaughlin was firmly established as the most important practitioner of his instrument of his generation within and well beyond the emerging jazz rock/fusion genre, and he has continued to evolve and surprise until today. Here, a thorough remaster is supplemented by a new and throbbing techno version by Stefan Goldmann.

The Danny Thompson Trio, with John McLaughlin, live in session November 1967. The Danny Thompson Trio existed briefly inside of 1967 and by that time, it recalled a much earlier time and place. The trio came together from numerous jazz/R&B avenues featuring now iconic names in Graham Bond, Alexis Korner, Brian Auger, Duffy Power, Georgie Fame, Herbie Goins, and many more. Their combined journeys to this point in November 1967 reveal a who's who of British blues, R&B, and jazz icons, but equally, it is this radio broadcast with Danny Thompson, John McLaughlin, and Tony Roberts that also would provide a vital bridge to the formation of Pentangle. Hi Hat presents the original broadcast of this historic performance from November 1967 with professional re-mastering, background liners and rare period photos. This long-awaited and prized release is a valuable addition to anyone's collection and helps fill another gap in the British folk/jazz/blues genre. Includes insert. Personnel: Danny Thompson - bass; John McLaughlin - guitar; Tony Roberts - tenor sax, flute & bass clarinet.
