John McLaughlin Musician Quotations

Interplay and interaction are the integral parts of music - they're as important as the notes.

When I hear a great musician, I can feel his life inside the music.

Music speaks from spirit to spirit and in that sense you could call it a true spiritual language.

Spirituality is worthless if it's not practical. Music is my work. I am a musician.

The whole point of working and practicing your whole life is so that you're ready when that moment arrives; when the inspiration arrives, you are ready to be at the disposal of inspiration.
