A most enigmatic guitar player

@jafant ,

thanks for the input. I did not know about the guitarist F. Robert Lloyd (by the way, there is a classic opera singer with the same name). I searched for his albums on Tidal and found only one called "Think about Brooklin". This is a quite multifold album including Indian-like music (the first composition that i liked), blues-like tracks (i like the most #7 called "Four lives in a day suit") and also more rock oriented tracks. Listening to some tracks (also some of Sonny Sharrock's performances), I was recalling Frank Zappa - a pioneer in guitar improvisation! 

@stuartk, the track named "Piece 1" on Sonny Sharrock's album "No material" is incredible (the sax, guitar and Pastorius-like solid base)! By the way, I have to correct the mistake i made in my previous post - this album was  with Junger Baker (not Mi​tch Michell as claimed before - both were exceptional rock drummers). 

@inna, I like Miles Davis "On the corner" (which though could have been better recorded/mixed), "Big Fun" (which is much better recorded) and Panthalassa (it combines different tracks). You perhaps also like John Mclaughlin's solos in these albums. I think his Mahavishnu music has a strong ínflense of Miles Davis late 60s and early 70s albums.  Collin Walcot, the best  (to me) jazz sitar player, a former member of Oregon, also played in the first above album (sadly, he had a car accident and died young in 1983 in Magdeburg, Germany) . 

 niodari, of course, McLaughlin was strongly influenced by Miles Davis, everyone was. But not only by him, by others too, including Coltrane. Listen to John's composition The Live Divine performed with Santana, Love Devotion Surrender album.

@inna , I love this composition and the whole album. And of course Carlos Santana is also one of the most outstanding guitarists to me. 

niodary, I like Santana too, and he always does his best when playing with John. Like many other musicians. Same as with Miles - everyone who played with him was at their best. That's a very special talent of a true band leader.

A friend of mine who is in the music business told me to have a listen to Matteo Mancuso. I only heard of him today, so I have not listened but the comments I am reading about him are very interesting.
