    • Source: Electric Dreams (John McLaughlin album)

      • Electric Dreams is the fifth solo album by English jazz guitarist John McLaughlin and his "One Truth Band" (featuring violinist L. Shankar, keyboardist Stu Goldberg, bassist Fernando Saunders, percussionist Alyrio Lima and drummer Tony “Thunder” Smith) released in 1979. Between his third and fourth solo albums he spent several years leading the Mahavishnu Orchestra (which featured Goldberg), and Shakti (which featured Shankar).
      While performing with Miles Davis, Davis had titled a song on the album Bitches Brew “John McLaughlin”. McLaughlin returns the favour here, naming a song "Miles Davis".


      Critical reception



      All About Jazz wrote that "Electric Dreams offers some of the best composing and playing of McLaughlin's career and has been unfairly overlooked."
