He name tags Miles Davis, Gil Evans, Ravel, Debussy, Mississippi blues, indian & flamenco music as his roots, that's a big cross to bear but he carried it to perfection, to a resurrection.

@Bix12 6 жыл бұрын

What he says about Jimi and Trane is bang on. I'd never heard anyone make that connection, until just now, then, after he made it, I pondered it for just a second...and bingo - "Of course! You're exactly correct, John!" Listening to them, they are nothing alike. But if we go deeper than merely the superficial, one can begin to hear they both thought about music uniquely...creating it as well as performing it. From what I know about Trane, in addition to what everyone knows, I've heard that John was a very logical, left-brain sort of thinker...more engineer than poet. I'm not saying he wasn't an artist, first and foremost...he definitely was. Obviously. He would look at music (sheet music) almost like it was a diagram, or a puzzle...and depending on his mindset, or mood, he'd break it down accordingly. Take chord structures, for example, he'd either lay them out horizontially (left to right), stack them vertically...or look at it like a single line of melody instead of a chord progression. When Bird played, after his musical epiphany, Bird would blow solos over chord progressions by literally "keying" off of each note of the melody...meaning each note relative to it's corresponding chord would give Parker a key signature to solo in...take that over the entire melody, each note providing a fresh key signature, and this was basically Bird's breakthrough. I know I've butchered it...but this is how I see it. Trane heard post-epiphany Bird playing when he, Trane, was still quite young, and it pretty much blew him away. Later he would take Bird's brilliant idea, but instead of using the melody, he used the chordal arrangments. But instead of say...improvising over a CMajor chord in the key of CMajor, he'd use the 4th, or the 7th, or whatever of that chord for his key signature, but for every chord, and every variant of that chord...so in the end, in Trane's mind, and indeed, in reality, there are no "wrong" notes...he just played every damn one them...really fast, so even if he did hit the occasional clinker, he didn't stay around long enough for anyone to notice. Hahaha....Anyway, Trane, I think, had the mind of an analyst. Jimi, on the other hand, was nothing like that intellectually- lol. But the thing with Jimi is he just instinctively knew that. He had an astonishing gift of insight, of being able to really look deep, and then translating/channeling those abstractions to his fingertips...bypassing the analytical altogether. But the end results were basically the same, and both were really unique innovators and original thinkers.

I still enjoy 50's guitarists and cool guitar, it's just saying for something else, Grant Green in my mind is a great player of playing more passionately and with dynamics, from a whisper to shout like a voice/horn, play with passion n depth n subtlety ,: 0

Disappointingly, Mr M seems ashamed of his background to the extent that he tries not to even mention it ('small town' will have to do). For example, most people never lose the accent they have (in their native language) at 16 unless they do it very deliberately. However, despite being brought up in the north of England (mainly the northeast) up to that age, JM has for decades made himself sound like a continental European who has learned an American-tinted English as a second language, like some concert pianist or something. Others, such as Allan Holdsworth, who lived in the US for decades, never tried to change how they sounded.

Those bombastic whoosh sounds are not only unnecessary, but highly annoying and pretty ridiculous. They totally detract from the interview.

Something I've ALWAYS been fascinated/perturbed by, and if anyone here can explain it, *please* do: why does John McLaughlin, a born-and-bred Englishman, speak with some kind of vague, unidentifiable East Asian accent?!?

Because he has spent many years in France and still lives here today. But yes, I too always thought this was puzzling and it struck me as odd.

daveguy11; I see John as a world musician. He has spent his adult life in multiple countries and has been with people/musicians from multiple countries. The result is that like his fusion musical style, he seems to have a fusion of several accents.

It's an odd amalgam of vestigial Yorkshire (West Riding), overlaid with Southern England RP, American and French-accented English.

LOL! Not even in the same league. Gary Burton might be a contender to Miles in shepherding players to their fullest potential, but Frank - while a super talented innovator, especially on the guitar was not at this level as a band leader.
