In August 1972, while the city of Munich was hosting the Olympic Games, the organizers also put on a series of cultural happenings. Part of this offering was the Jazz Now! Festival which took place from 17th to 20th August. On 19 August the concert at the Herkules Saal was entitled Solo Now! and consisted of solo performances by Albert Mangelsdorff, Gary Burton, Chick Corea, Jean-Luc Ponty and John McLaughlin.

John also took part in the Jazz Now! Festival performing with Mahavishnu Orchestra. That performance is also available on this blog. This is a very clean sounding recording, every note is audible. John performs some very tasty stuff here too. John covers some of his favorites of the Jazz Greats, then finishes off with his own composition.
