In 1970, Jimi Hendrix and John McLaughlin got together for a legendary jam session at The Record Plant Studios.John McLaughlin Sessions:
In 1969, legendary guitarist John McLaughlin, who had just signed with Hendrix's manager Alan Douglas, began working at the NYC Record Plant on his album 'Devotion'. Joining John McLaughlin on the album were Buddy Miles on drums and Larry Young on Keyboards. While this album was being recorded in the Record Plant's lower level, Hendrix worked in the studio upstairs.

Later on, one fortunate occasion, the two guitarists met. A few days after his arrival in the US, John McLaughlin recorded with Miles Davis for his 1969 album 'In a Silent Way'. He later jammed with Hendrix, where Hendrix was playing with Buddy Miles, bassist Roland Robinson, and guitarist Jim McCarty (of CACTUS). At the request of Mitch Mitchell, John McLaughlin went to the Record Plant with the intention of jamming with Hendrix, not recording.
.
In 1996 John McLaughlin was interviewed and was asked how the jam with Hendrix took place.
'It was through his drummer Mitch Mitchell. Mitch and I go back to working with Georgie Fame in the early 60's. In 1969, I was playing with drummer Tony Williams. Mitch was a big fan of his and would come to see us play at the Vanguard. One night Mitch invited us to the Record Plant. I came down with organist Larry Young and musician Dave Holland . Basically, we played, but it was difficult because at the time I was using a hollow-bodied acoustic.....like a country guitar. The volume on it was so low and Buddy Miles was playing drums so loud. Dave Holland played bass and Jimi played electric. It wasn't really a playing session....it was just hanging out....having a good time. I've only heard a little bit of tape, about two or three minutes, that's all they sent me. It sounded just okay to me.' An energized Hendrix and Buddy Miles dominated the jams based on blues riffs, and McLaughlin's guitar work didn't stand out that much to make this a great collaboration of the guitar legends in rock history.
.
In 1974, Hendrix manager Alan Douglas discovered the recordings of of John McLaughlin and Hendrix jamming -- and he was ecstatic: 'the tape we have of them together is not only a historical thing, it's very exciting. It's going to have a heavy impact on the musical audience. It's Jimi playing in a way that's never been released before'. Douglas quickly drew up a promotion campaign and started feeding the press teasers about the jazz-fusion material he had on tape between John McLaughlin and Hendrix. Oui magazine reported in Feb 1975 that Reprise would release one album of this material and Nemperor Records (McLaughlin's manager's label) would come out with an alternate one. After hearing a sample of these jams, rock critic Dave Marsh wrote in Penthouse Magazine: 'The McLaughlin/Hendrix tapes are reportedly ten hours long.....once they got started, McLaughlin and Hendrix achieve the sort of interplay that producers of super-sessions always seek - but rarely discover'.
.
Mysteriously, neither record was released ... but at long last, here they are...in limited pressing form
