Light At The Edge Of The World
classic score by Piero Piccioni written in 1971 for Kirk Douglas’ The Light at the Edge of the World (aka Il faro in capo al mondo). This British-USA-Italian coproduction was directed by Kevin Billington and produced by Kirk Douglas together with Alexander and Ilya Salkind. The Light at the Edge of the World is based on the posthumously published novel of Jules Verne.

Pharoah Sanders' version turned it into jazz standards

After many many years wondering within so many musical delights, I feel that now I have come Home in listening like never before to, John.

[aubergine]

John Mclaughlin est l'un des très, très rares musiciens à avoir toujours été sincère. C'est un génie (qui d'autre que lui pouvait nous donner Shakti ?) dont la beauté du jeu reflète ce qu'il est à l'intérieur. Chapeau Monsieur ; vous avez accompagné mon adolescence et vous êtes toujours un modèle. Dieu vous bénisse, cher John.

MAGNIFICO!!! Nobody sounds like John.... he's THE MASTER!

[benmorris]

Regardless of you musical tastes, if this doesn't move you to the depths of your heart and soul, you are not human. Thank you, Mr. McLaughlin for touching my life for the past 50 years.

Every note in John's solo is perfect. He is 79 years old.

The musicians were so appreciative of that amazing ending John played. All smiles and wonder... That is one of the coolest things I ever heard him play too. It just never ends with John!

Every note a song within, totality a universe expanding ever so.
