Went to see John McLaughlin and the 4th Dimension on a double bill with Jimmy Herring and The Invisible Whip in Newark a couple of weeks ago. First set was Jimmy Herring’s band which I’m not that familiar with but they played a cracking set. Next, out came John McLaughlin and the 4th Dimension who played brilliantly. Then both bands did a set of classic Mahavishnu Orchestra numbers which was fantastic. Loved every minute of it. Finally got around to pulling together these snaps I took.

He called me over to take his picture but was surprised when I agreed to. We shook hands and introduced ourselves (but he asked me not to use his real name) and he told me he was homeless. I snapped off a few quick shots and he seemed to be pleased with them but told me he had no access to the internet to see them.
