John McLaughlin Music Quotations

I don't have any message in the music. Music will be fine as long as you take care of yourself.

MIDI, and its development into audio control and manipulation, is without doubt at the heart of the revolution in music today.

I find Indian music very funky. I mean it's very soulful, with their own kind of blues. But it's the only other school on the planet that develops improvisation to the high degree that you find in jazz music. So we have a lot of common ground.

Spirituality is worthless if it's not practical. Music is my work. I am a musician.

The moment you start to talk about playing music, you destroy music. It cannot be talked about. It can only be played, enjoyed and listened to.
