McLaughlin recorded Extrapolation (with Tony Oxley and John Surman) in 1969, before migrating to the United States. McLaughlin's technical prowess, power, speed, and invention were all displayed on the album (such as the ability to play in odd meters). In 1969, he relocated to the United States to join Tony Williams' band Lifetime.
He subsequently played with Miles Davis on his landmark albums In A Silent Way, Bitches Brew (which has a track named after him), Big Fun (where he is featured soloist on Go Ahead John), and A Tribute to Jack Johnson — In the liner notes of Jack Johnson, Davis paid respect to him, calling McLaughlin's performance "far in." He rejoined the Davis band for one night of a week-long club tour, which was recorded and published as part of the album Live/Evil.
