Yeah, Johnny was a big jazz guy, pop-rock - not so much. He was from that era.
Wasn't Carson a pretty good drummer in his own right, as I remember?
Seeing McLaughlin play a straight ahead jazz standard is pretty unusual - I'd never seen him any setting like that before. He was great. And he clearly was enjoying himself.

I”ve been a John M fan for many many years - also a Johnny Carson fan for the reasons you mentioned above (among others). This clip is a testament of John’s talents - he came up knowing the music that came before him and ran with it. Thanks again for posting this clip!!
