Intriguing and insightful, Matt Phillips's book promises to be a must-read for jazz and rock enthusiasts, offering a rare glimpse into the life and career of a true musical icon. From McLaughlin's early days in London to his latest endeavors, this book captures the essence of an artist who has consistently pushed the boundaries of music, leaving an indelible mark on the world of jazz and beyond., Especially if you're a McLaughlin devotee this hugely entertaining book is a required purchase. In case you're more like me, someone with an interest in (prog) music who dropped History from his exams the minute it was possible, then rest assured this exemplary educational book is one historic lesson you don't want to miss! All in all an exceptional and brilliant read!, For those of us who came of age with Jimi Hendrix, mourned his passing in 1970 and subsequently immersed ourselves in the fusion movement, Phillips' book is a revelation. A comprehensive and thoroughly researched look at that era through the landmark recordings of guitar avatar John McLaughlin, it traces in great detail his rise through the ranks of London session work in the '60s to his place atop the six-string Mt. Olympus. A must-read for guitar aficionados and McLaughlin devotees., With protean guitarist, composer, and bandleader John McLaughlin, a trailblazer in multicultural jazz fusion, celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of one of his most lauded groups, Shakti, by touring the world, it's a true boon to have jazz expert Phillips' thorough and impassioned chronicle. Phillips covers McLaughlin's ravishingly complex acoustic-guitar techniques and sophisticated electric innovations, along with his diverse influences, compositions, bands, recording sessions, and concerts.... Proceeding album-by-album and portraying the exceptional musicians who worked with McLaughlin, Phillips is the first to fully illuminate "the least-appreciated, least-documented periods" in the extraordinary career of this wondrously free-spirited, prolific, perpetually questing artist., A wonderful insight into a true innovator and colossus of the guitar. I feel blessed to have lived in his time., Sitting down with a music book and a pile of albums to accompany the content is analogue heaven. And when the musician has a career as rich and varied as British guitarist John McLaughlin, you can be confident the soundtrack will be both demanding and deeply rewarding. As for the book, that needs to be thoroughly researched and well-written, doesn't it? Vinyl Connection can report that Matt Phillips' John McLaughlin: From Miles and Mahavishnu to The 4th Dimension fits the bill very well indeed, providing an uplifting adventure in sound and music history., What Matt Phillips' scrupulously researched account does is bring the John McLaughlin story up to date (he's a grand old 81). For anyone who's felt the guitarist's later electric bands were a pale shadow of the first Mahavishnu Orchestra's frenzied virtuosity, Phillips' analysis spotlights the gems amid the slew of releases in the half-century since the break-up. Phillips writes as a fan, who first saw McLaughlin in 1984.... [T]his is a fluent career overview of a guitarist prepared to explore far further than his blues-rock peers of the 1960s., Phillips looks at his entire career and details the many album releases in a highly readable style that draws you back to listen again to music you may not have heard in a long time - if at all. ...Informative and thoroughly enjoyable, it's easy to recommend this book., With protean guitarist, composer, and bandleader John McLaughlin, a trailblazer in multicultural jazz fusion, celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of one of his most lauded groups, Shakti, by touring the world, it's a true boon to have jazz expert Phillips' thorough and impassioned chronicle. Phillips covers McLaughlins ravishingly complex acoustic-guitar techniques and sophisticated electric innovations, along with his diverse influences, compositions, bands, recording sessions, and concerts.... Proceeding album-by-album and portraying the exceptional musicians who worked with McLaughlin, Phillips is the first to fully illuminate "the least-appreciated, least-documented periods" in the extraordinary career of this wondrously free-spirited, prolific, perpetually questing artist. -- Booklist John McLaughlin is one of a kind. What he has contributed to the world of music will never be duplicated. It's the reason why a book reflecting on his musical career should be a must-have in every aspiring musicians personal library. -- Billy Cobham, drummer, Mahavishnu Orchestra, inductee, Modern Drummer Hall of Fame A wonderful insight into a true innovator and colossus of the guitar. I feel blessed to have lived in his time. -- Mark King, lead singer and bassist, Level 42 For those of us who came of age with Jimi Hendrix, mourned his passing in 1970 and subsequently immersed ourselves in the fusion movement, Phillips' book is a revelation. A comprehensive and thoroughly researched look at that era through the landmark recordings of guitar avatar John McLaughlin, it traces in great detail his rise through the ranks of London session work in the '60s to his place atop the six-string Mt. Olympus. A must-read for guitar aficionados and McLaughlin devotees. -- Bill Milkowski, author of JACO: The Extraordinary and Tragic Life of Jaco Pastorius and Ode to a Tenor Titan: The Life and Times and Music of Michael Brecker, Besides offering the most comprehensive overview of McLaughlin's entire career to make it into print thus far, Phillips' detailed study is a reminder of how prolific and stylistically diverse McLaughlin's long and distinguished career has been and how his work has continued to be informed by his defining passions.... This is a well-researched attempt to offer some informed perspective on the trajectory of a spectacular career that has consistently defied any attempts at tidy categorisation., John McLaughlin is one of a kind. What he has contributed to the world of music will never be duplicated. It's the reason why a book reflecting on his musical career should be a must-have in every aspiring musician's personal library., The rare artist whose work is as deep as it is broad, John McLaughlin demands a sharp mind and no small amount of commitment from fans and collaborators alike. Matt Phillips, a former jazz catalogue manager at Universal Music Group and an accomplished drummer in his own right, is the perfect guide through McLaughlin's byzantine discography, his training enabling him to keep pace with the guitarist's baffling mastery of time signatures, and his passion earning the trust of anyone still reeling from those early Mahavishnu Orchestra flights. Despite a clear love for his subject, Phillips isn't afraid to criticise: missteps and dull performances are addressed throughout a breakdown of McLaughlin's career which nods to his early session work and extracurricular activities but largely sticks to projects of his own devising, for which "fusion" seems an inadequate shorthand. Taking an album-by-album approach allows readers to go at their own pace, though Phillips never loses sight of the wider picture. Drawing connections across decades, groups and recordings, he sketches a portrait of an artist the complexity of whose music is matched by the conceptual ideas and the spiritual and cultural pursuits that inform it.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
