His combination of New Orleans R\u0026amp;B, blues, jazz, funk and rock permeated the musical landscape of the late ’60s and beyond. While quite young, he was influenced by piano players, including Professor Longhair. As a teenage musical prodigy, Mac was a songwriter, arranger, A\u0026amp;R guy and a producer for Ace Records, running sessions with legendary artists. During the 1960s, as a “first call” Los Angeles studio musician, he honed his chops doing session work for artists including Sonny and Cher, Canned Heat and Frank Zappa.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYears later, he developed his persona of Dr. John The Night Tripper and his 1968 debut album, \"Gris Gris\", was a phenomenon, attracting fans across the musical spectrum.
