McGlaughlin decided that he wanted to form his own band instead of joining Weather Report. Obviously they recorded together with Miles. That was just an add on. The main point of the post was was the Scofield quote "But so may great players played with his (Miles) bands- John McGlauglin......". So the guitarist who people are saying is the real deal believes McGlaughlin was also the real deal. Meanwhile the posters referencing Scofield are using Scofield as an example to discredit JM. Seems like there's room for more than one world class player.
For the people that don't like him they never will. He's not going to suddenly start copying George Benson licks, and don't think he's ever borrowed much from any guitar player. You either like it or you don't. As far as the speed thing when he first came up it was an essential part of his improv. I think he got caught up with the hype about speed because press and audience reinforced that idea. His playing matured since then.Last edited by WESTON; 04-21-2015 at 09:58 PM.

I also thinks it's weird that anyone believes that he's rushing. He just puts his notes on the front of the beat. His concept is the opposite of traditional jazz, but it's a very cool way to approach things and gives him his signature sound.
The world would be boring if we were all just Wes clones, much as I love Wes.
