Ive been more or less vegetarian for about 40 years. Health diet really helps. I do meditation every day, and either yoga or sport several times a week. – John McLaughlin
I find Indian music very funky. I mean its very soulful, with their own kind of blues. But its the only other school on the planet that develops improvisation to the high degree that you find in jazz music. So we have a lot of common ground. – John McLaughlin
At the risk of sounding hopelessly romantic, love is the key element. I really love to play with different musicians who come from different cultural backgrounds. – John McLaughlin
I am fussy, about my diet and straining my voice. I know, sounds a bit over the top. But Im not as bad as I used to be. These days I dont drink alcohol for five days before a show – very dehydrating for the vocal cords, and all that acid reflux. I used to ban it for a fortnight. Nightmare. – Katherine Jenkins
