Thank you, thank you, thank you, for mentioning SWEETNIGHTER! This is my favorite WR album, no doubt, I loved it the first time I heard it, and still love it 45 years later. It's great driving on the freeway at night, and you're just cruising. Thanks also for mentioning Terje Rypdal, he doesn't get talked about enough, neither does Coryell, or Bill Conners. Also, Sextant, and his "Mwandishi" period (all the black guys were adopting African names at this time, like Mganga, Jabali, etc.), is great, and "Flood", "Thrust", really adventurous. Also feature a great funk guitarist, Wah-Wah Watson!, if you watch him on KZread, he is so tasty and cool.

What a great year it was! Good list. I bought most of these albums. Thanks for the memories.

Saw Mahavishnu very early on in Waterville Maine - just before their debut in NYC. Kind of a warm up gig - early 1971. I was a 17 year old bassist into blues/rock and was blown away! Changed me, and I did go on to a music career, btw, in a touring funk/dance band. At that seminal gig in the Waterville Armory, I did manage to even sneak backstage - John M was actually pissed at the crowd, who were expecting blues, and heard the future - and had no idea how to react to it.

Yes Terje Rypdal !!! Perfect list and yes a video about ECM and Fusion, could be really interesting.

Thanks, Andy. Love your channel. One of your best ever posts. Never knew John M took Miles to see the Monterey Pop film, which introduced Miles to Hendrix!

Michael White's "The Land of Spirit and Light" is not only one of the absolute best jazz fusion albums of 1973 but is one of the most underrated in the entire jazz world. For those that may not be familiar: a synergistic cross section of Mahavishnu Orchestra (sans the electrical fire power), Zappa-esque classical & avant-garde, with a healthy dose of the spiritual jazz Pharoah Sanders was doing around the time of 'Thembi'. Upon reexamination this morning it goes to the top of my list. A must listen.

I really enjoyed your insight into the history of Mahavishnu Orchestra. My first exposure was "Birds of Fire" when it was first released. I think I was 15. My friend and I (both musicians, btw) had read an incredible review in Down Beat Magazine, so naturally we had to find out what all the excitement was about. We got the record and listened to it together. Within two minutes we realized we'd entered some other universe where music worked quite differently. We were absolutely stunned. That album, along with "Inner Mounting Flame" and "Between Nothingness & Eternity," changed forever the way I think about music. By the way, the most climactic guitar solo ever performed must be McLaughlin's on "Sister Andrea" on "Between Nothingness & Eternity." It's clearly an impressive solo, but what really makes it work is the entire band working toward a tremendous crescendo at the end of the solo. Listen to it with this in mind and see if you agree. Cheers, Andy!

New internet meme: Don't go there for the solos, go there for the disco!

Such a great list, Andy!!! It's funny, because you're right, Miles Davis was often guilty for taking credit for other bandmates' songs (e.g., W. Shorter wrote so much of their 60s stuff), but according to John McLaughlin himself, it was Miles who nudged him to go solo. Apparently, John was happy to stay in Miles' band and didn't want to leave, content to maybe even doing Jack Johnson Part 2: Jack's Revenge, but no, Miles knew when/how to nuture REAL talent. Without that "nudge", maybe we would've never gotten Birds of Fire... Ironically, after John left Miles, after On the Corner, Miles' output would never be as grounbreaking or as "tight". One of my absolute favorite Miles/John McLaughlin moments is on the track "Go Ahead John" from Big Fun. The real credit here should go to Teo Macero, Miles' seminal producer, who did all that crazy fururistic tape splicing/looping "musique concrète" stuff, but specifically on this track-- that INSANE stereo panning on Jack DeJohnette's schizophrenic drumming, but also all that filtering and layering on both John's and Miles' solos-- John's solo here is one of the heaviest moments in guitar history. Newcomers to this track, listening to this track in headphones is a must. SO ahead of it's time. It's proto jungle/drum n bass/EDM. You should do a video on Teo. He's the George Martin of Jazz.
