Chapter 8: A Radical Departure: The 1960s <strong>and</strong> 1970s<br />

� Freddie Hubbard (born 1938): This talented trumpeter (<strong>and</strong> flugelhorn<br />

player) made one of my favorite electric jazz albums. Red Clay came out<br />

in 1970 <strong>and</strong> captured my attention with its spare arrangements <strong>and</strong><br />

Hubbard’s mellow flugelhorn solos.<br />

� John McLaughlin (born 1942): McLaughlin formed the Mahavishnu<br />

Orchestra — an electrifying jazz/rock fusion b<strong>and</strong>, <strong>and</strong> its albums Inner<br />

Mounting Flame (Columbia) <strong>and</strong> Birds of Fire (Columbia) are electric jazz<br />

classics.<br />

� Grover Washington, Jr. (born 1943): On my friend Brad Shuster’s megawatt<br />

system, saxman Washington’s 1975 Mister Magic (Motown) split our<br />

eardrums. It’s one of the most important albums to merge jazz with funk<br />

<strong>and</strong> soul — great solos, rock-solid rhythms.<br />

� Weather Report: Led by keyboardist Joe Zawinul <strong>and</strong> saxman Wayne<br />

Shorter, this electric jazz group really soared after bassist Jaco Pastorius<br />

came aboard. Black Market (Columbia) makes my A-list of electric jazz.<br />
