1	Friday Night in San Francisco (1980) more music like this by Al di Meola/John McLaughlin/Paco de Lucía Loose and spontaneous, this (mainly) live album is a meeting of three of the greatest guitarists in the world for an acoustic summit the likes of which the guitar-playing community rarely sees. Broken up into three duo and two trio performances, Friday Night in San Francisco catches all three players at the peaks of their quite formidable powers. ... see all copies from $6.00! new only from $11.06!
2	Birds of Fire (1972) more music like this by Mahavishnu Orchestra With John McLaughlin Emboldened by the popularity of Inner Mounting Flame among rock audiences, the first Mahavishnu Orchestra set out to further define and refine its blistering jazz-rock direction in its second -- and, no thanks to internal feuding, last -- studio album. Although it has much of the screaming rock energy and sometimes exaggerated competitive frenzy ... see all copies from $3.27! new only from $11.06!
3	The Inner Mounting Flame (1971) more music like this by Mahavishnu Orchestra With John McLaughlin This is the album that made John McLaughlin a semi-household name, a furious, high-energy, yet rigorously conceived meeting of virtuosos that, for all intents and purposes, defined the fusion of jazz and rock a year after Miles Davis' Bitches Brew breakthrough. It also inadvertently led to the derogatory connotation of the word fusion, for it ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $11.06!
4	Devotion (1970) more music like this by John McLaughlin This album is from a pivotal moment in McLaughlin's history. This was just after he left Miles' group, but before Mahavishnu Orchestra started, and the music captures this moment perfectly. McLaughlin's technique had not progressed to "Mahavishnu" perfection yet, but the music has the in-your-face rock drive of the Mahavishnu Orchestra. This ... see all copies from $7.87! new only from $7.87!
5	Visions of the Emerald Beyond (1974) more music like this by Mahavishnu Orchestra As the second album to document the second Mahavishnu Orchestra, this one isn't as, well, apocalyptic as its predecessor, yet it does focus more intently on the band itself. Jean-Luc Ponty's curling electric violin lines help give this Mahavishnu band a more European sound than its predecessor, and some of the orchestral concepts of Apocalypse ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
6	Electric Guitarist (1979) more music like this by John McLaughlin Electric Guitarist is an album of reconciliation and penance, a series of reunions with several former colleagues from the early jazz-rock days, some of whom had parted on bitter terms with John McLaughlin. But there are no egos out of control here; everyone has grown up, and partly as a result, there is a high level of musical inspiration devoid ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
7	Industrial Zen (2006) more music like this by John McLaughlin The ever peripatetic and ever restless John McLaughlin returns again to the electric jazz field that he once commanded in the early '70s, while never quite landing on the same spot where he left off. A few of the familiar components are still whirring away -- the dizzyingly fast and jagged unison themes; the furious interplay with his teammates, ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
8	The Essential John McLaughlin (2007) more music like this by John McLaughlin While it would be utterly foolish to consider a two-disc set by guitarist John McLaughlin as anything other than a sample of the wildly diverse career he's enjoyed since the early '60s, it should be noted and underscored that what Legacy does with this set is to provide a solid look at not only the man's gifts but at the way he's employed them, ... see all copies from $12.96! new only from $22.14!
9	Belo Horizonte (1999) more music like this by John Mclaughlin Recorded in 1981, this is a diverse and somewhat obscure John McLaughlin outing recorded in France, mostly with French musicians. Classical pianist Katia Labèque makes appearances on acoustic piano and synthesizer; there is a thoughtful version of "Very Early" recorded in tribute to Bill Evans, and a collaboration with flamenco guitarist Paco de ... see all copies from $9.29! new only from $9.29!
10	Shakti with John McLaughlin (1975) more music like this by Shakti For his next act, the decibel champion of electric jazz shocked the world by unplugging and returning to South Indian music before an excitable audience at South Hampton College. Yet the alert John McLaughlin follower will note that beyond the reliance upon South Indian instruments and scales, there are unbroken links to records like My Goal's ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
11 view cover	Live at the Royal Festival Hall (1989) more music like this by John McLaughlin Trio The Mahavishnu revival misadventure now over and done with, John McLaughlin fields a quieter, stripped-down trio in London's Royal Festival Hall and gets far more pleasingly musical results. Engaging in interplay at all kinds of tempos with bassist Kai Eckhardt and supported by the fleet, subtle drums and percussion of Trilok Gurtu, McLaughlin ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
12 view cover	Extrapolation (1969) more music like this by John McLaughlin John McLaughlin's first recording as a leader features the future innovator playing guitar in an English quartet. Although McLaughlin contributed all ten pieces, baritonist John Surman actually dominates this music, often swinging quite hard. The historically significant set, although a lesser-known item in McLaughlin's discography, is quite ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $10.29!
13 view cover	The Heart of Things (1997) more music like this by John McLaughlin Although not referred to as such by name, this is a mid-'90s incarnation of the Mahavishnu Orchestra idea -- another quintet fronted by John McLaughlin playing electric jazz-rock with virtuosity to burn. As before, when the name was last floated in the 1980s, it is a very different sound, but closer to the original Mahavishnu blend than the '80s ... see all copies from $8.34! new only from $14.37!
14 view cover	Mahavishnu (1984) more music like this by Mahavishnu Orchestra John McLaughlin resurrected the esteemed old Mahavishnu Orchestra for his mid-'80s quintet, even getting old mate Billy Cobham to fill the drum slot on the band's first album. But this is an entirely different conception than any of the '70s Mahavishnu outfits. The sound is cooler, less strident, more thoroughly dominated by advanced electronic ... see all copies from $11.88! new only from $14.46!
15 view cover	Guitar Trio: Paco de Lucia/John McLaughlin/Al Di Meola (1996) more music like this by Paco de Lucia/John McLaughlin/Al Di Meola Guitar Trio is an excellent collaborative effort from three of the finest jazz guitarists of the post-rock & roll era: Paco de Lucía, John McLaughlin, and Al di Meola. Throughout the record, the trio doesn't just showcase their instrumental skills; they demonstrate their musicality. This is sympathetic, emotional musicianship, where each musician ... see all copies from $7.96! new only from $13.71!
16 view cover	Inner Worlds (1975) more music like this by Mahavishnu Orchestra/John McLaughlin The state of the second Mahavishnu Orchestra continued to be volatile in 1975, with violinist Jean-Luc Ponty out, keyboardist Gayle Moran replaced by Stu Goldberg, and all string and horn backings removed, leaving just a steaming quartet and this lone remarkable album. The addition of Goldberg, a more interesting musician than Moran, is ... see all copies from $11.82! new only from $11.82!
17 view cover	The Lost Trident Sessions (1973) more music like this by Mahavishnu Orchestra Recorded in London on June 25, 1973, these sessions for a planned third Mahavishnu Orchestra album were shelved when the band decided to put out the live Between Nothingness and Eternity instead. Bootlegged in the past, two-track mixes of the missing album were discovered in the vaults in the late 1990s, paving the way for its official release in ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
18 view cover	The Promise (1995) more music like this by John McLaughlin John McLaughlin shoots out in many different directions during this very diverse release. He trades off with fellow guitarist Jeff Beck on "Django," jams his own "Thelonius Melodius" in a trio with organist Joey DeFrancesco and drummer Dennis Chambers, has a duet with DeFrancesco (who switches to trumpet) on "No Return," stretches out with tenor ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $18.28!
19 view cover	Apocalypse (1974) more music like this by Mahavishnu Orchestra The first recording of the second Mahavishnu Orchestra was a real stretch for John McLaughlin, an encounter with Michael Tilson Thomas and the London Symphony Orchestra. The union wasn't taken seriously at the time, and it ended up harming the reputation of Thomas -- a remarkably adventurous young conductor who defied the stuffy classical powers ... see all copies from $5.33! new only from $5.33!
20 view cover	Remember Shakti: The Believer (2000) more music like this by John McLaughlin When Eastern classical musicians and Western jazz or pop musicians get together to jam, the result are always heartwarming; two wildly disparate traditions coming together to make music is such an irresistible gesture of human unity and cross-cultural cooperation. What's not to love? Frankly, what's not to love is often the music itself, which all ... see all copies from $13.71! new only from $13.71!
21 view cover	My Goal's Beyond (1970) more music like this by Mahavishnu John McLaughlin After bouncing around on a couple of labels (Douglas/Polydor/Ryko,) the CD reissue of this album ultimately ended up on KnitMedia. The startling thing about this record is that it points the way toward two directions McLaughlin would take in the future -- exploring Indian music and the acoustic guitar -- and this while he was in the thick of the ... see all copies from $4.99!
22 view cover	Jazz: The Definitive Performances (1999) more music like this by Various Artists To commemorate the end of the century, Sony Music assembled the gargantuan 26-disc box set Sony Music 100 Years: Soundtrack for a Century. The title was imposing, as was the idea behind it -- to chronicle the life of the oldest record label in the music industry. To be clear, Sony Music has not existed for 100 years, but the heart of its catalog, ... see all copies from $22.14! new only from $22.14!
23 view cover	Remember Shakti (1999) more music like this by John McLaughlin On Remember Shakti, jazz guitarist John McLaughlin returns to one of his chief inspirations -- classical Indian music -- by reforming his '70s group Shakti. Original members Zakir Hussain (tabla) and T.H. Vinayakram (ghatam) return, joined by Hariprasad Chaurasia on the bansuri (Indian flute). Remember Shakti has a more meditative, fluid feel than ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $27.05!
24 view cover	Natural Elements (1977) more music like this by Shakti The third and final Shakti recording from the 70s. The songs here are shorter than those on Shakti and Handful of Beauty, but no less impressive. The novelty of combining Eastern and Western musical styles had worn off and McLaughlin sounds comfortable. This allows for memorable compositions and interchanges, rather than the blistering virtuosity ... see all copies from $7.50! new only from $13.27!
25 view cover	The Best of Shakti (1995) more music like this by Shakti The trailblazing ethnic-fusion group Shakti embodied complimentary values from distinct musical traditions. With tabla czar Zakir Hussain, the North Indian Hindustani penchant for perfection of form and technique are heard. Through the impassioned playing of ghatam master T.H. Vinayakram and violinist Shankar, the South Indian Karnatic quest for ... see all copies from $13.94! new only from $13.94!
