Vinyl Vibrations is musical exploration into sounds and grooves from artists that produced their works on vinyl records. Vinyl records -- in commercial form -- date back to 1948 with the first 12" LPs -- followed ten years later, in 1958, with the first stereo LP -- and into the 1960s, the so-called Golden Age of Vinyl -- all the way to current time, when even today, some artists are producing on vinyl records. Many music recording formats have come and gone. Today's world is in the cloud. Not long ago it was music CDs, and if you were around in the 1960s and 1970s you experienced the 8-track tape and cassette tape formats. Some of those old magnetic tapes and CDs have lost their playability, while the vinyl LP has stood the test of time.
Vinyl records captures a rich period in pop, rock, jazz and classical music history.
In each show I explore a topic in the production at the time that makes the artist's work unique and timeless. I'm your host, Brian Frederick, here on Vinyl Vibrations.

Today’s show features John McLaughlin, an English guitarist, composer and band leader, born in 1942 in Doncaster, a city in South Yorkshire, that’s located in northern England. His mother was a concert violinist. He studied violin and piano as a child and then took up the guitar at age 11.
His childhood musical influences included MILES DAVIS and LUDVIG VON BEETHOVEN, and more contemporary artists were JOHN COLTRANE and JIMMY HENDRIX
McLaughlin is a pioneer of Jazz Fusion. In his music, one can clearly pick out elements of ROCK, JAZZ and BLUES…and also additional elements later on such as WORLD MUSIC, and Western Classical Music.
In the 1960s at about age 20, he moved to London where he contributed to several British groups and did session work. One of those British Groups was the Graham Bond Quartet with Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker of Cream. Another rare opportunity was working with Miles Davis. And he gave guitar lessons too, and one of his students was Jimmy Page, founder of Led Zeppelin.
