John McLaughlin - Extrapolation

Liner notes:
"As knowledge and experience of musical forms increase - attention will more and more direct itself at 'real' musical issues rather than 'fashionable' ones. At the time of writing this situation has already arisen, as witnessed by the popular acclaim deservedly showered upon such groups as 'Blood, Sweat and Tears'. Johnny McLaughlin, hailed by many critics as a 'face' to watch in '69, has made this LP with John Surman, Tony Oxley and Brian Odges, three of the best young British jazz musicians of today. It is a mere formality that talents such as these will be in the forefront of yet another challenging period of musical taste evolution."
