Where Fortune Smiles
by John McLaughlin, John Surman, Karl Berger, Stu Martin & Dave Holland
About This Release
Five virtuosos—McLaughlin, Surman, Berger, Martin, and Holland—converge on this 1971 Beat Goes On Records compilation, capturing a moment when fusion and free jazz collided in real time. Modal structures dissolve into open-ended improvisation across five tracks, with McLaughlin’s electric guitar cutting through Surman’s reedy textures while Holland’s bass anchors the chaos. A snapshot of early-seventies jazz experimentalism.
