Paco de Lucía - Montreux 1987

Synopsis

Filmed July 15, 1987 at the famed Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, Paco & John: Live At Montreux 1987 is a breathtaking evening of flamenco-infused jazz flair. The show opens with a solo piece from John McLaughlin, followed by a solo performance from Paco de Lucia, as if to showcase the stature of each virtuoso's musicianship on their own merits. Then, the guitar maestros join forces, presenting a series of duets drawn from their solo albums, The Guitar Trio, and covers of music written by contemporaries such as Chick Corea and Egberto Gismonti. The set included performances of "Guardian Angel," "One Melody," "Chiquito," "El Panuelo," "David," and "Sichia," among others.
