John McLaughlin (also Mahavishnu John McLaughlin), an English jazz fusion guitarist, came to prominence with Miles Davis' electric jazz-fusion groups from the late 1960. He is regarded by many as one of the most influential and technically gifted guitarists of all time, having mastered a remarkable range od styles and genres, including jazz, Indian classical music, and fusion. He has also incorporated aspects of flamenco music in some of his acoustic periods.

His electric band The Mahavishnu Orchestra performed a technically virtuosic and complex style of music that fused eclectic jazz and rock with eastern and Indian influences. After they split, McLaughlin worked with the band "Shakti", a pioneer of world music.He had already been studying Indian classical music and playing veena. In 1997 he teamed up with flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucia and jazz guitarist Larry Coryell (replaced by Al Di Meola in the early 1980s) as the Guitar Trio, the virtuoso talents of all three musicians equally on display. In the late 1980s he recorded and performed live with a trio including bassist Kai Eckhardt and a phenomenal percussionist Trilok Gurtu.

His versatility as a musician and a composer-arranger had another validation in The Mediterranean Concerto, which he composed in 1986 and premiered with Los Angeles phylharmonic. His latest recording projects have been a ballet score, Thieves and Poets, realized in 2003 along with arrangements for classical guitar ensamble of favourite jazz standards, a three DVD instructional video on improvisation, another instructional DVD called The Gateway to Rhythm and an album entitled Industrial Zen.
