Magic Labyrinth (released 1995 by the JMT label) is a studio album by jazz bassist Marc Johnson and the second within his trio "Right Brain Patrol", released on the label JMT Productions (JMT 514 018-2).[1][2]
Review
On this album Johnson show even more exquisit landscapes in improvisational music. Magic Labyrinth brings together individual compositions by the musician, one collaborative work between Johnson, Muthspiel and Tunçboyaciyan, and additional two delicate compositions by Miles Davis and Hermeto Pascoal. Downbeat praised the album for its "excursions to the more adventurous and angular regions of improvisational jazz".[2]
