    I've been a lifelong fan of his albums and numerous experimentations since forever, but my weakness was always
    Shakti. i have that Limited Box with all his works and I keep as a treasure.

    Happy Birthday Master John.

    When I was 13 I bought my mother Mahavishnu Orchestra's Birds Of Fire for her birthday. Cheeky me, eh?

    Very few have blown my mind.
    There's John, Ravi Shankar, and Billy Cobham that I straight away think of. I think each of them changed my DNA or something!
    But I was a lot younger. I don't know if I could have taken it all in at the time, really!
    Definitely affected me deeply, though.
    Just realised...it was actually 29 or 28 years ago! Eeek!

    Nice! Apparently his health is almost as good as his guitar skills.

    He's a monster. One Word from Birds of Fire is in the history books along with his time with Miles they were part of the inception of electric jazz. McLaughlin and Coryell started an electric jazz guitar revolution.
