 John McLaughlin - Verve Records
McLaughlin's classic recordings of the 1970s have long been regarded as essential listening for anyone with even a casual interest in fusion, and if the British improviser had decided to retire in 1980, he still would have gone down in history as one of jazz-rock's most influential axemen.
McLaughlin was a child when he first fell in love with jazz and the blues, and he was just 11 years old when he began studying and playing the guitar.
McLaughlin was no less eclectic in the 1990s, when his Verve projects ranged from 1993's acoustic Time Remembered: John McLaughlin Plays Bill Evans (a tribute to the late pianist) to sessions featuring organist Joey DeFrancesco (1993's Tokyo Live and 1994's John Coltrane-minded After the Rain) to an acoustic McLaughlin/DiMeola/de Lucia reunion in 1996.

 McLaughlin Defends CIA, Cites Reform in Speech (washingtonpost.com)
Deputy CIA Director John E. McLaughlin, who is scheduled to become acting head of the agency when George J. Tenet retires July 11, has said the intelligence community has already made changes to address failures highlighted by investigations of its performance before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.
McLaughlin's speech anticipated not only the Senate panel's expected critical findings on the agency's intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction but also the report coming later this month from the commission studying the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
McLaughlin quickly shot down a popular reform idea of an "intelligence czar who would stand apart from CIA and oversee all aspects of American intelligence." Noting that the idea was "first floated in 1955," he said central control could be asserted "without the additional layers of command or bureaucracy such a change would inevitably bring."

McLaughlin's notoriety as one of the chief architects of rock fusion kicked into high gear with the Englishman's astonishingly original work with Miles Davis at the dawn of the 1970s.
Certainly, McLaughlin's quietly elegiac tribute to Bill Evans from three years ago ought to have triggered a warning that the brain-rattling volume of earlier periods had been forsaken for (gasp!) what appeared to be the self-same quiet conservatism the Yorkshire native helped dislodge nearly three decades ago.
Revealingly, McLaughlin's current fascination with the guitar-organ-drum configuration dates at least as far back as the late-'60s trio Lifetime, with Williams, McLaughlin and organist Larry Young.
