John McLaughlin
John McLaughlin of Doncaster, England, is a key figure in the development of “fusion” music. He won the Grammy Award for Best Improvised Jazz Solo in 2018. John also had an impressive list of artists with whom he had collaborated at one point or another. While being on this list is hardly a reason to rub elbows with rock royalty, there aren’t many guitarists who can claim to have shared Miles Davis’s stage.
