About this album
Extrapolation is a striking debut that shows John McLaughlin already thinking beyond straight-ahead jazz. Recorded in 1969, the album blends post-bop precision with the energy and harmonic curiosity that would soon define jazz-rock and fusion. McLaughlin’s playing is agile, sharp and harmonically adventurous, with the title track and pieces such as Spectrum pointing towards the broader musical reach he would later achieve. Before his work with Miles Davis and the Mahavishnu Orchestra made him a fusion landmark, this record established him as a formidable guitarist with a distinctive voice and a strong compositional eye.
