On July 1st, 2011, Montreux hosted the reunion of two master guitarists, Carlos Santana and John McLaughlin, with their Invitation To Illumination concert. Both musicians have been regulars at Montreux across the years but this was the first time they headlined their own concert together. The show features most of the tracks from their classic 1973 album "Love Devotion Surrender" mixed in with a wealth of other material. The evening was a showcase of supreme musical virtuosity and spirituality and typified the approach of these two great artists. It is certainly a performance not to be missed. La Grange is included on one track. This musical release from Carlos Santana and John McLaughlin captures a live performance by the two artists, recorded at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 2011. Songs featured in the concert include "The Creator Has a Master Plan", "Let Us Go Into the House of the Lord", and more.

In the 1970s and 80’s, a fusion in jazz music occurred giving birth to a new, more electrified and diverse genre called jazz-funk. Some notable pioneers in this genre were: The Crusaders, Weather Report, Herbie Hancock, Alphonse Mouzon, Chick Corea, Lee Ritenour, Azymuth, Eumir Deodato, Jeff Lorber, Seawind, and Koinonia. Though less known in the United States, Koinonia established themselves as a huge sensation in Scandinavia and Western Europe, performing to sell-out crowds from 1982 to 1991 in Norway, Denmark, Holland, Sweden, Their Latin-infused rhythms and upbeat melodies gave them a distinct and cultured sound. Taken from a Greek word used in the Bible to mean “intimate fellowship” Koinonia was notably one of the first Christian, though primarily instrumental, jazz bands. The original members of the band, which formed in 1980, were: (leader) classically trained guitarist, Abraham Laboriel on electric bass guitar, child-prodigy drummer Bill Maxwell, Dean Parks on guitar, Alex Acuña on percussion and drums, John Phillips on woodwinds, Hadley Hockensmith on guitar, and Harlan Rogers on keyboards. In 1981 the saxophone/clarinet & flute virtuoso Justo Almario

The Eagles said that hell would freeze over before they ever played together again, but in 1994, apparently an ice storm overtook the fiery mythological place as Glen Frey, Don Henley, Timothy B. Schmit, Joe Walsh and Don Felder all reunited on one of the most talked about, sought after reunion tours in history. Newly adeed Dolby Digital 5.1 sound is added and there is a bonus DTS Audio Only track. Seventies' supergroup The Eagles performs in their 90's incarnation in this combined acoustic/electric video. Most of their classic hits are covered, from the constantly recycled "Hotel California" to the country-ish ballad "Desperado." A great return to form for a band who broke up rather painfully.
