From the Soundboard is a program that usually focuses on concerts regardless of genre. This is where the artist and (or) group perfects the art of the “call and response” with its audience. On Tuesday, April 30 @ midnight (that’s Monday into Tuesday), and the continued focus will be on musicians who support a Free Palestine and this week we are closing out April and Jazz Appreciation Month by focusing on the legendary Jazz Fusion guitarist from Doncaster, South Yorkshire, England, John McLaughlin.

One of fusion’s most virtuosic guitar soloists, John McLaughlin placed his blazing speed in the service of a searching spiritual passion that has kept his music evolving and open to new influences. Whether shredding on electric or simmering quietly on acoustic, McLaughlin’s intensity and versatility have kept his playing vital. [Thom Jurek – All Music Guide]
