About

Electric Guitarist is the fourth solo album by British guitarist John McLaughlin, released in 1978 through Columbia Records originally on vinyl; a remastered CD was issued in 1990 as part of the Columbia Jazz Contemporary Masters series. Among McLaughlin’s former collaborators appearing on the album are drummers Tony Williams, Jack DeJohnette and Billy Cobham, keyboardist Chick Corea, alto saxophonist David Sanborn, violinist Jerry Goodman, bassists Jack Bruce, Stanley Clarke and Fernando Saunders and fellow guitarist Carlos Santana. Ex-Mahavishnu members Jerry Goodman and Billy Cobham feature on the track "New York on My Mind," a tune that could have been an outtake from McLaughlin's earlier Mahavishnu Orchestra work. "Friendship" features Carlos Santana on guitar. "Do You Hear the Voices That You Left Behind?" features Chick Corea on Minimoog & electric piano. "Are You the One? Are You the One?" features Jack Bruce on bass. A duet with Billy Cobham features on "Phenomenon: Compulsion".
