If you liked John McLaughlin in Bitches Brew, check out his band [b]Shakti. Their self-titled album is mind-bendingly good. Also, check out McLaughlin, Al DiMeola, and Paco DeLucia's live collaboration on Friday Night in San Francisco.[/b]

His collaborations with Carlos Santana are also very noteworthy.
