Mahavishnu Orchestra with John Mc Laughlin - Visions Of The Emerald Beyond
Review by Christopher McGuire
Visions Of The Emerald Beyond is an exceptional album by the legendary Mahavishnu Orchestra with John Mc Laughlin. This album showcases the band's innovative fusion of jazz, rock, and Indian classical music, which was ahead of its time in the 1970s. The album features stunning instrumental performances by each member of the band, including Mc Laughlin's virtuosic guitar playing, Jerry Goodman's soaring violin, and Jan Hammer's mesmerizing keyboard work. The album's title track is a particular highlight, with its intricate rhythms and soaring melodies that transport the listener to another world. Visions Of The Emerald Beyond is a must-listen for fans of jazz fusion and a testament to the enduring legacy of the Mahavishnu Orchestra.

About Mahavishnu Orchestra with John Mc Laughlin
One of the premiere fusion groups, the Mahavishnu Orchestra was considered by most observers during its prime to be a rock band, but its sophisticated improvisations actually put its high-powered music between rock and jazz. Founder and leader had recently played with and Tony Williams' Lifetime. The original lineup of the group was McLaughlin on electric guitar, violinist , keyboardist , electric bassist , and drummer . They recorded three intense albums for during 1971-1973 and then the personnel changed completely for the second version of the group. In addition to McLaughlin, the 1974 incarnation of the band consisted of violinist , on keyboards and vocals, electric bassist , and drummer ; by 1975 had replaced Moran and Ponty had left. John McLaughlin's dual interests in Eastern religion and playing acoustic guitar resulted in the band breaking up in 1975. Surprisingly, an attempt to revive the Mahavishnu Orchestra in 1984 (using Cobham, saxophonist Bill Evans, keyboardist , electric bassist , and percussionist ) was unsuccessful; one album resulted. However, when one thinks of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, it is of the original lineup, which was very influential throughout the 1970s.
