SKU
GB-AGGREGATE003
The Mahavishnu Project was founded by monster drummer Gregg Bendian, a long time fan of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, in order to keep the music alive and from becoming just a fossilized period piece. This he has done, even earning the seal of approval from John McLaughlin himself, and being hired by Sony Legacy to oversee the Mahavishnu Orchestra catalog itself (look for some great things to come out of this association, eventually)! With Pete McCann-guitar, Steve Hunt-keyboards, Stephan Crump-bass and Rob Thomas-violin, this live 2 disc set, which includes many favorites from "The Inner Mounting Flame" and "Birds Of Fire", as well as unique improvisations and even an original in the style of the original Mahavishnu!
"Just a little note of appreciation for what you are bringing back to life. This musical period was the beginning of finding my own way in music, and to hear you guys playing those tunes in such an unbelievable way is quite amazing. Great job!! Keep up the good work.-John McLaughlin (Oct. 2002)
