After a move to the US in 1969 to join Tony Williams’ group Lifetime, McLaughlin became a key player in the recording of Miles Davis’ electric jazz-fusion albums, most prominently on Bitches Brew and On the Corner and also played on the album A Tribute To Jack Johnson. In the album’s liner notes Davis famously referred to McLaughlin’s sound as “far...
Following his work with Miles Davis, John McLaughlin formed what would arguably become his most successful project, the Mahavishnu Orchestra. The music was technically challenging and complex and fused the electric jazz and rock of Bitches Brew with Eastern and Indian rhythms and scales. Mahavishnu Orchestra was instrumental in the development of t...
Shakti (meaning ‘energy’) saw McLaughlin focus on a more acoustic sound fused with Indian classical music. With the group, he released three albums including this exceptional record, which features a number of incredible Indian musicians such as Lakshminarayanan L. Shankar, Thetakudi Harihara Vinayakram and Ramnad Raghavan. These albums were among ...

In 1979 McLaughlin formed the Guitar Trio Paco de Lucía and Larry Coryell.

Ostensibly a mid-’90s incarnation of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, the quintet saw McLaughlin returning to his highly technical and virtuosic electric guitar playing and jazz-fusi...

The artists came to...
In late 2008, McLaughlin was asked by Chick Corea to join his jazz-fusion supergroup, Five Peace Band. The all-star lineup which also included Vinnie Colaiuta, Kenny Garrett and Christian McBride toured the world in 2009 which resulted in this wonderful live album. Following the culmination of the tour in Asia in early 2009, with Brian Blade on dru...
