John McLaughlin on Johnny Carson

Yes folks, there was a time not so long ago when jazz was featured on the late night talk shows. In this classic clip, guitarist John McLaughlin shows off his chops on a very up-tempo version of Ray Noble's Cherokee.

Love this clip, just wish the guitar was up a bit more. He is so relaxed. I think the song is Cherokee.

Yep, that's a burning version of Cherokee. Only a few guys, like John, are brave enough to take it that fast!

That's Cherokee - Sonny Rollins/Clifford Brown, non?
