Jazz / Fusion; Post-Bop
Extrapolation features John Surman, still one of Europe's most exploratory saxophonists; drummer Tony Oxley, who's forged a dynamic interaction with Cecil Taylor, and blues session bassist Brian Odges capably replacing Dave Holland, who'd been called to the States by Miles. McLaughlin plucks crisp, clipped, fleet single-note lines and lush or jangley chords; the quartet revels in 10 of his original compositions, several of which the guitarist carried on to Tony Williams' Lifetime and his own later bands.
