4 stars McLaughlin's acoustic trio concert, recorded live in 1989 ( London's Royal Festival Hall). How you can expect from the place and band's line-up, this is chamber very acoustic recording. Great musicianship, fantastic McLaughlin acoustic guitar technique, Spanish and classic jazz influences. Very pleasant atmosphere. All musicians are great in their job.

But - it is one more album for limited acoustic guitar music lovers. And great album. Just you can't expect fusion or even more classic jazz there. Very characteristic sound , similar to McLaughlin/DiMeola/De Lucia acoustic albums ( happily there are great rhythm section on guitarist support, so common album's sound is more diverse).

Overall - great album for dedicated listener.
