At Home With John McLaughlin for 'All Night Jazz' WUSF 89.7

WUSF 89.7FM 'All Night Jazz' host Simon Lasky interviews guitarist, composer, band leader and pioneer, John McLaughlin, for his 'At Home With' series. One of the world's greatest guitarists, McLaughlin was at the forefront of the jazz rock fusion movement of the late '60's and early '70's and has remained hugely influential in both genres ever since. An inspiring conversation, McLaughlin tells anecdotes of his time with Miles Davis, reflects on his astonishing career, and discusses his new album 'Liberation Time'.

79 years old and still playing the most blazing jazz fusion guitar you’ll ever hear!
Absolute legend! The new album
Is incredible. Infinite inspiration from John.
Thanks for the interview.

Great that JM still retains his love and enthusiasm for the music. An amazing life and more still to come. Really looking forward to hearing the new record.
Can’t let the moment pass without a mention of the sad loss of Rick Laird. RIP

So pleased you enjoyed it Trudy. And, yes, thanks for flagging up Rick Laird (we recorded the interview a few days before he passed).

When I was a kid taking acid my favorites were Hendrix and McLaughlin, both just were far and above anything else. I always used to say what John is saying, only for me it was, "John and Jimi are both doing the same exact thing." As far as sound and innovation and the places their music took me, they are, they just approach it differently, just like any other master. Thank you to John McLaughlin. This is a great interview so far, thank you for asking such good questions.
