Riding of Yorkshire, England), also known as Mahavishnu
John McLaughlin, is an English guitarist, bandleader and
composer. His music includes many genres of jazz, and
rock, which he coupled with an interest in Indian
classical music to become one of the pioneering figures
in fusion. After contributing to several key British
groups of the early sixties and making his first solo
record Extrapolation (with Tony Oxley and John Surman)
he moved to the USA where he played with Tony Williams's
group Lifetime and then with Miles Davis on his landmark
electric jazz-fusion albums In A Silent Way, Bitches
Brew, A Tribute to Jack Johnson and On The Corner. His
1970's electric band, the Mahavishnu Orchestra,
performed a technically virtuosic and complex style of
music that fused electric jazz and rock with Indian
influences.
