Mike LindupGUEST
And so for his first release, he decided he was going to put together... a compilation of instrumental tracks because we started as an instrumental band and we had to basically make one of our instrumentals into a song to get our first record deal.
Mike LindupGUEST
But all of our early influences were people like Mahavishnu Orchestra, groups like Mahavishnu Orchestra, John McLaughlin.
Mike LindupGUEST
Chick Corea and Return to Forever, Herbie Hancock, Headhunters, Weather Report, Stevie Wonder, James Brown.
Mike LindupGUEST
So that kind of DNA is part of the Level 42 sound.
BullfrogHOST
Freddie King getting a good workout today.
BullfrogHOST
And for the close-up, John McLaughlin, Alvin Jones and Joey DeFrancesco doing the instrumental Afro Blue, which was the song Mongo Santa Maria recorded.
BullfrogHOST
in 1959, and it was first recorded on the 20th of April of that year at the Sunset Auditorium in Carmel, California, with Santa Maria on percussion.
BullfrogHOST
Afro Blue was the first jazz standard built on a typical African 3-2 cross rhythm or hemi-ola.
BullfrogHOST
And, of course, Afro Blue featured this week's Bullfrogs Roadhouse Hammond B3 player, Joey DeFrancesco.
BullfrogHOST
And John McLaughlin released the album called After the Rain that contained Afro Blue in January 1994.
BullfrogHOST
To this day he is still recording and features on the new Cindy Santana Blackman album Coherence which has recently been released.
NiamhHOST
Aye, that's the end of another round of the Bullfrogs Roadhouse Bracket Along Songs, so ye'd all best be getting ready to buckle up, cause your favourite Irishman's got his iconic 61 Fender Stratocaster, bought for a hundred quid back in 63, mind ye, on take from Crowley's Music Store in Cork, in his grasp, slide in hand, and he's getting ready to twang away.
Joe ConchaHOST
And that'll be at 9 p.m. Eastern time on WABC and on stations around the country and around the world.
Joe ConchaHOST
Until then, in the words of the late, great John McLaughlin, I got two words for you.
Joe ConchaHOST
Bye-bye.

Rubrik is the security and AI operations company built for what happens after an attack hits, not just the moments
Andrew McKaysmithHOST
Yeah.
Andrew McKaysmithHOST
I love your early material.
Andrew McKaysmithHOST
I do love a lot of heavy metal and extreme metal and stuff, but your early material just energises me in a way that no other music does.
Andrew McKaysmithHOST
And I love watching your old YouTube clips because the musical relationship between you and Mike I think has been explored a little bit, but I don't think what people have explored enough and really given you credit for with the trio, the three of you, is with Phil and with Boone.
Andrew McKaysmithHOST
Okay, because I absolutely adore watching you and Boone together because he's very understated, isn't he? And what I want to ask you is what do you think it was in terms of the special ingredients that Boone brought to the band?

Mark KingGUEST
Thank you.
Mark KingGUEST
Yeah, the Level 42 album.
Mark KingGUEST
And that album was in reality the second album we'd made because we'd actually recorded an album's worth of material which came out after that album.
Rob CassHOST
Oh, fantastic.
Rob CassHOST
So how did the John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia collaboration happen?
Al Di MeolaGUEST
Well, that happened because in 1974, when I joined, we returned to forever.
Al Di MeolaGUEST
We did our, in the fall, we had done a tour of Europe.

In modal improvisations, the closest successor to Coltrane is Joe Loano.
speaker_0NARRATOR
On learning and improvising within the strictures of a rock, John McLaughlin comes to mind.
speaker_0NARRATOR
One day, others will pick up this thread and merge these traditions to create yet another sound.
speaker_0NARRATOR
Until then, we have Coltrane.
