Sat 21 Apr. Return of the Emerald Beyond A Record Release Show In 1971, guitar-god John McLaughlin left Miles Davis to form Mahavishnu Orchestra, and was the first to combine the fire of Hendrix-drenched rock with the groove of Coltrane's modal jazz & the ethereal Indian ragas of Ravi Shankar. Mahavishnu Orchestra has been cited as a major influence from King Crimson to Phish, and as one of the first electric jam bands. The music of the Mahavishnu Orchestra hasn't gone on to be covered and re-interpreted by the many bands it has affected, largely due to its extreme technical demands. Until now. Mahavishnu Project launches directly from where the original band abruptly left off. In 2001, this incendiary unit from New York City began performing their unique renditions.
