Grammys 2011: John McLaughlin - To The One - Nominee, Best Contemporary Jazz Album

Before I previewed this category, I had no idea that contemporary jazz was this alive! After hearing four albums already, I am really impressed! I am just surprised there are not that many women - oh well, no women jazz instrumentalists, I mean. This work by John McLaughlin is the most jazzy of all the four albums I've listened to as of yet. It's frantic, it's a bit offbeat, it has that urgent sound like one is rushing to commute on a Monday morning. That's what I feel when I listen to it.
