All About JazzReview by John Kelman Read More
“This isn’t 4th Dimension’s first live album, though it is the first to feature the seven year-old group’s current configuration. Ranjit Barot, first heard with McLaughlin on Floating Point (Abstract Logix, 2009), replaced drummer Mark Mondesir on Now Here This (Abstract Logix, 2013), and is as outrageously virtuosic as ever; the equally impressive bassist Etienne Mbappe is back too, as is serious double-threat keyboardist/drummer Gary Husband—the only other remaining member of 4th Dimension’s inaugural lineup and clearly an increasingly important musical collaborator.”
