John McLaughlin has finally been inducted into the DownBeat Hall of Fame, an honor, IMO, long overdue, but so richly deserved. I can’t think of any other living jazz musician who warrants the induction more than John. Having seen him decades ago with the Gurtu trio, and three times later with two incarnations of Shakti, I’ll say with no hesitation that his live shows are mind-boggling. Reportedly, Charles Lloyd said of McLaughlin: “John is a deep sensitive. He knows that we live in a world that’s gone mad and he’s looking for the right note.” Congrats Maestro McLaughlin! |

This I did not realize this...that John was not in the DB HoF.....incredible....Saw him several times in iterations of
Shakti, and was totally blown away by every gig with him and Maestro Usted Zakir Hussain, Maestro Usted Srinivas
(RIP 2014).....Had every Mahavishnu Orchestra album....such a rich and varied trajectory for the man from
Manchester, England.....
