John is, as always, inspiring and insightful. Please enjoy this special episode as we celebrate 2000 subscribers, and a heartfelt 'thank you' to everyone who has supported us over the last 2.5 years.

2 beautiful souls Gregg and John. Reminding the collective conscious how important to listen and play music. Thank you.
Great interview with JM, so heartfelt both ways, and my only regret was not seeing this back in 2020 while we were isolated as the pandemic began its sweep through the US. John is a real treasure to music in general and the interview was so insightful. We were able to see Shakti with JM in Austin TX last month - the audience left floating on air! Please bring Mahavishnu Project to Houston TX - there are many musicians and music lovers here who know and appreciate this amazing musical experience!
I like what JM said about listening. Listening should be active: there's an art to it. Listening closely, positively has more value than just practicing all the time.
Im amazed I never saw this interview when it was posted. Very close talk with our great guruji - thanks Greg!
JM is an international treasure. Thanks for a great chat, Gregg.
What a wonderful man. Virtuoso and a Gentleman a beautiful human being and inspiration ❤
thanks for this, love these......

❤️
Wonderful discussion. Thanks.
An absolute legend.
Thanks.
Amazing, Gregg! Thanks so much.
The best or greatest musician I ve seen along with Jethro Tull,
I just saw one of Shakti's 50th Anniversary shows last night. I needed this dose of John Mc's wisdom today.
Interesting perspective 3 years hence. I will be at the Shakti show at the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester in August. Waiting for MP dates in CT!
How did I miss this one? This is wonderful. Thanks, Gregg!
Yes John, the animals take 'care' of each other...they eat each other.
Der Helmut were in't front row at the NYC Wollman Rink während the recording of Between Nothingness und Eternity. If you listen you can hear Helmut zonked out on Kingston Yardie skunk. What a brill' evening.
Brilliant, thanks for the interview guys!
Eric Dolphy is not on Mingus’s “Blues and Roots” album. John Handy and Jacki Mclean play alto on that record. Mr. McLaughlin is mistaken.
A lot of serious question marks about that so called pandemic
Great musician. Pity he fell for the scam.
Sorry, but John has been too conformist through this whole debacle, I'm disappointed and offended that he hasn't occupied a far more demonstrative renegade mindset against the dark overlords of encroaching oppression.
I like how you're disappointed that McLaughlin is actually intelligent. I suppose it's harder for people like you to relate to their heroes when their IQ is in the triple digits.
Thank you Gregg. An education.
