I followed both Jimmi and John and it never crossed my mind that one was better than the other because they both had something unique to offer the world, which I consumed like nectar from the Gods.

Up until the early '80s, accessing Western music in India was a near impossible task. I first heard Jimi when I was about 15 in 1979 which ensued in a total devotion to him and the guitar. In the meantime, I had also read about John but never actually heard him play. So in 1982, when I got the Shakti - Natural Elements album, I ran all the way home just to hear him play. Needless to say, I never left my room for a week and thus began an extra journey of following John. So to hear John speak about Jimi, two of my gurus, is like being Experienced. Thank you John for the music and your humble candour. RIP Jimi.. And thank you for sharing this video..

This is about 3 of my hero’s. I been following John since mid 70s. Miles Davis what can I say. The biggest musician of the last century. Jimi. Omg since the first day I heard him play in early 70s when I pick up the guitar, he scared the shit out of me. Funny thing he still scares the shit out of me. There’s no way a human being can put so much emotion into his instrument and playing. It’s just not possible but Jimi did it. I don’t know who said it, but it’s true. Jimi played beyond a man with a guitar.

John lived in Tappan, NY, in a small cottage. One afternoon Larry picked me up and drove to John's place, where he and Larry jammed for several hours. John was playing sitar. Jimi was part the subject of their conversation. Jimi spent time in around Rockland County and at Larry's. My regret is I always just missed him. But he still visits me in my studio everyday.

What many people don't realize is that Jimi was trying to expand his musical horizons at the end of his life... He was exploring longer & longer forms in his writing and adding to his existing improvising vocabulary of blues licks. If he would have lived longer some of the things Miles was showing him [like diminished chords] would have rubbed off...and don't forget, he was already jamming with Rahsaan Roland Kirk...an added influence, not to mention [possibly] Gil Evans. Those guys were fountains of musical knowledge & experience...

Great! I always wanted to hear Jimi with John Coltrane. John McLaughlin always i big favorite of mine. I´m a sax player from that generation and of course was influenced by them because Music at that time was just so open to crossover and there was a huge fanbase for it. But the same thing is happening now but we are ( my gen) not as exposed to it as when we were young. But I follow what is now as much as possible. There is so much more now!

Went by myself. John, Les Paul and a combo amp (F?). Tearing it up and someone between tunes asks, "Where's the synth axe ?" John, "I think we're getting on fine now" to huge applause.

Saw John at Slugs' in NYC numerous times in the early 70's with Tony Williams and Larry Young. What a band, what a venue! A long narrow room with a bar on the left, stage in the back. Sometime with only a dozen in the audience. No liquor license, so it meant nursing an apple juice for a few hours. My friend Steve and I were drummers, and whenever Tony, or Elvin Jones were there we'd take the pilgrimage from Staten Island or Brooklyn. I also caught John doing a solo at Wagner College on SI. Great, powerful music back then (also saw Jimi at Woodstock, and Fillmore East w/BOJ) Ahh the seventies...

Great clip. I hope John is keeping notes - his life needs to be detailed in a real biography. He's been such a critical part of jazz/fusion for so long it would be tragic not to get all these stories down. And he's just the most unassuming man, given what he's accomplished. TY.

The movie houses in NYC Mr. McLaughlin speaks of were probably the same places i saw Pink Flamingos, A Clockwork Orange and Magical Mystery Tour, just a few years later. But i also had the pleasure of seeing Mahavishnu in Akron, at the Rubber Bowl. The headliner was Yes, but first on stage was this little known band called The Eagles (pre Joe Walsh). Seeing and hearing the likes of John, Billy Cobham, Jerry Goodman, Rick Laird and Jan Hammer was like something wonderful from another world.

When the MO was touring behind their first album, The Inner Mounting Flame, I got to meet John after the Portland OR show. I was probably not the first person to ask him about Jimi, but I may have been among the earliest ones (late '71 or '72). Somehow I'd learned that they jammed together (and I was under the impression it was not taped or the tapes had been lost. I was delighted to find out that was wrong and I have heard them). Anyway, he told me the same thing he says here. Except he added something more. He also said Jimi was shy. I wonder if he'd remember me? I was the guy with the pupils as big as a saucer. Probably not different enough to be memorable. I'm sure he'd remember my friend who was his roadie, though.

@@thomasmagee5644 That's the one. An amazing gig. I was 18 and just out of high school studying jazz drumming as I wanted to be a pro jazz drummer. Played drums in my high school jazz band and with a small jazz/blues/ rock combo. I studied for a couple years with on of the best drum teachers in LA - Chuck Flores. West Coast style. He played with Charly Parker at a gig and had a regular gig with Joe Pass and a TV gig on the Rosey Grier Show on TV. Chuck was very dialed into the local jazz scene. As part of my instruction he sent me out and see great drummers perform. One of them was Tony Williams at this gig in Hollywood you attended. But after watching Tony perform so brilliantly, I decided to become a science teacher instead and do jazz drumming as a hobby. Such was the impact this group had on me. And I am still a high school science teacher to this day. I am 70 now.

Wow John M must have been young then. Just goes to show that he must have had his chops together early - he would have been around 26 or 27 at the time he is describing. OK. . . fair enough.

I lived on 23rd a few doors from John, would see him on the roof of his taller building and we would wave all the time. One day while sitting in front of our building waiting for our show to evolve in sequence another night as a film I made would play a couple walk by, we exchange nods. Him, his wife and daughter come back and he introduces himself and says I think you know something about this. I was undercover in gym trunks, sipping a beer in a paper bag next to our theater observing reactions every once in awhile. He nailed it, I said Yes, I made the film and he explained how he was Ravi Shankar’s brother and this is my wife and daughter. Then he went on to explain John McLaughlinlives next door and I should go over there, that I was exactly the person he would love to know. At 25 I didn’t feel comfortable doing that, always regretted it but life had so many amazing moments living there and in that role in the group at that time and since I cannot complain.

Jimi's notes were just "bigger" than anyone else's. Prior to that, the person with the biggest notes had been Miles. Miles pretty well acknowledged that he had been dethroned in that specific context. Genius recognises these things. Miles' notes had eclipsed Dizzy's dazzling virtuosity by being somehow bigger, even when pianissimo, choked, half-slurred, or whatever. Miles had it. Jimi had it. John McLaughlin is a monster of a player; one of the true greats who played across genre and style and made notes his own. They are just not quite as big as Miles' notes, or Jimi's; but they are much bigger than mine, anyway.
