The Mellotron Group

Hi Pete,

I believe so.  See the links below, the 3rd being an interview with John Mclaughlin in the September 1975 issue of Guitar Player magazine.  Unfortunately, I have never heard that Hendrix album.

Around 1973, I started to collect a lot of jazz / fusion / Canterbury albums by British groups like Soft Machine and Hatfield and the North.  A little later on, I became interested in groups like the Mahavishnu Orchestra and stuff like that.  My friend's dad had the Tony Williams Lifetime album "Turn It Over" (Larry Young, Jack Bruce, & John Mclaughlin is credited) so we gave it a listen.  Strangely enough, on some of the tracks I noticed a similarity to the British fusion sound I had already become familiar with.

A few years later, as I was getting into more "straight ahead jazz", I picked up some of Larry Young's earlier albums on the Blue Note label.

      Robert,

Is that the same Larry Young that played on Hendrix' Nine To The Universe?
