🎼4 January 1942. Happy 80th birthday 🥳🍾 to John McLaughlin, born in Doncaster, England. He is considered by many prominent guitarists... the best #guitarist 🎸alive, having pioneered Jazz Fusion in early 1970s: his music combines elements of jazz with rock, world music, Indian classical music, Western classical music, flamenco, and blues 😳👏
#JohnMcLaughlin albums and guest appearances during his 6 decades career are literally uncountable, having collaborated and played with the likes of #MilesDavis, #TonyWilliams, #JimiHendrix, #JeffBeck, #AlDiMeola, #JoniMitchell, #CarlosSantana, to name a few...
McLaughlin has been member and leader of seminal The Mahavishnu Orchestra, one of the earliest jazz fusion bands ever and Shakty in the 70s.
