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.

Back in 1971, when guitar-god John McLaughlin left Miles Davis and (Tony Williamís Lifetime) to form the groundbreaking Mahavishnu Orchestra, he was the first to combine the fire of Hendrix-drenched rock with the groove of Coltraneís modal jazz & the ethereal Indian ragas of Ravi Shankar. The critics called it ìjazz rockî and the result was nothing less than a musical revolution. The Mahavishnu Orchestra has since been cited as a major influence on everyone from King Crimson to Phish, and was in many ways one of the first electric jam bands. Not surprisingly however, the music of the Mahavishnu Orchestra hasnít gone on to be covered and re-interpreted by the many bands it has affected, largely due to its extreme technical demands. That is, until now. The 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 of music from classic Mahavishnu discs such as Birds of Fire, Inner Mounting Flame and Between Nothingness & Eternity and Visions of the Emerald Beyond while remaining true to the cutting edge improvisations of the original band, and to McLaughlinís stunning compositions. Their take on the music must be quite special, as they have received the seal of approval from Maestro McLaughlin himself!

The Mahavishnu Project is led by extraordinary drummer/composer Gregg Bendian, widely known for his work with Pat Metheny, Ornette Coleman, & John Zorn. Bendian has received rave reviews for his and Nels Clineís Interstellar Space Revisited: The Music of John Coltrane (Atavistic), his band Interzoneís Requiem for Jack Kirby (Atavistic, 2001) and his sterling drum and vibes work on the long-awaited We Saw A Bozo Under The Sea (ZHR, 2001) by former Beefheart guitar whiz, Zoot Horn Rollo. Bendianís talents are uniquely suited to the daunting challenge of another shining icon of creative music in The Mahavishnu Orchestra. Bendian is joined by new guitarist Rocco Zifarelli -who's worked with Bob Mintzer, Kenny Kirkland and Ennio Morricone, long-time Allan Holdsworth & Billy Cobham keyboardist Steve Hunt, bassist Chris Tarry (John Scofield and Metalwood) and violinist Rob Thomas, whoís worked with Andy Summers and Tito Puente.
