 |
|
Hi Scott, I'm writing a book about John McLaughlin's catalogue and I've been looking online for your interesting Downbeat Blindfold test when you talked about the McLaughlin/Mahavishnu track 'Jozy' (I think Bill Milkowski interviewed you). Would you or anyone please post a link if it's available online anywhere?
Many thanks,
Matt

| Hi Matt, That was way before the Internet - I doubt if it's online. I have a digital copy I can email to you. scott@scotthenderson.net |

I did a quick look around and found the link below that references the article:

BLINDFOLD TEST: SCOTT HENDERSON
by Josef Woodard
1. JOHN McLAUGHLIN AND MAHAVISHNU. JUST IDEAS/JOZY
(from ADVENTURES IN RADIOLAND, Relativity).
That was John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. I can't say enough about him; he's the greatest. The tune was great, obviously influenced by Weather Report - particularly the tune "Madagascar". Great composition. John McLaughlin is playing his ass off, as always. I think that's Bill Evans playing sax, and Mitchel Forman. I like the way the tune built, really melodic and with great harmony. That's a 5-star tune, for sure. John McLaughlin was one of the first guys I was influenced by. Birds Of Fire is still one of my all-time favorite records. I look up to him because he's such an overall great musician, not just as a soloist but also as a composer and a legend. |

Hey, thanks very much to both of you.
erakare, that link seems to relate to the old 'Pages Of Fire' McLaughlin reference site. Did you find a link to that old website? If so, could you please send? Thanks.

That was EXACTLY what I was looking for, thanks so much Jan-Mikael.
Please let me know your last name so I can thank you in my book.
