With this in mind, pathbreaking guitarist and bandleader John McLaughlin has convened his longstanding band the 4th Dimension -- Gary Husband (keyboards), Etienne M’Bappe (bass), and Ranjit Barot (drums, konnakol) -- via the Internet to record “You Know, You Know,“ the seminal tune written by John himself which first appeared in 1971 on the landmark album, “Inner Mounting Flame“. Although each performer contributed his part remotely from far-flung locales (McLaughlin: Monaco, Husband: London, M’Bappe: Paris, Barot: Mumbai), their deeply felt connection transmits clearly through this soulful collaboration. McLaughlin convened the 4th Dimension to help raise awareness and funds for the Musicares foundation which is set up to assist musicians from all over the world, especially during times of this pandemic. A video of the 4th Dimension performing “You Know, You Know“ is available to view on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and the audio recording can be downloaded free here: Donations can be given directly to Musicares at . “As a band, we’ve been together so long we’re family,“ McLaughlin concludes. “But in fact we go further back: Humanity is the only family, and we believe the only way humanity will survive is if we care enough for each other. We hope that whoever sees or hears this will care also. So if you donate something -- even something really small -- thank you.“
