Painting a serenity and commitment to the beyond and a force greater than ourselves: English guitarist John McLaughlin's explorations in Indian and Western musical traditions are decades long and continue with Indian vocalist Shankar Mahadevan and tabla icon Zakir Hussain who goes back with McLaughlin to his 1970s Shakti days. Six compositions are shaped around are the spiritual sounds of the South Indian Bhajan traditions and there is something very inspiring about the pervasive atmosphere and mood created and is utterly unique in its intensity and power. Experience this today. Simply a thrill. Photo: Bandcamp

Best and top jazz guitar album of 2020. And also best album by a single individual artist playing solo alone, the Beninese, US, global scene guitarist-singer-composer-bandleader Lionel Loueke performing the music of Herbie Hancock released during a year when Herbie turned 80, his guitarist for more than 15 years, shows a lot of love and affection and above all deep immersion in the songbook of the greatest living jazz musician. It is an ocean of plenty. While 'Actual Proof' might well have been the ultimate standout track 'One Finger Snap' with its flattened note salt flavour and fleetness of foot seemed even more compelling. But then Loueke's treatment of the Fat Albert Rotunda lullaby 'Tell Me a Bedtime Story' where his beautiful voice comes into its own, always in tandem with his wondrous George Benson and Franco inspired guitar playing, seemed just perfect and it is. Two Hs, another two for heart. What the L, one love. Photo: Edition
