Title: Mahavishnu Orchestra is a Tough Act to Cover
Product review: As a Maha fanatic I really wanted to love this CD, but outside of John Abercrombie's take on Follow our Heart, nothing takes flight. Problematic are the arrangements that pay little respect to the original compositions and a rhythm section that plods along with none of the forward leaning urgency and intensity of the original Mahavishnu Orchestra. As far as tributes go, The Mahavishnu Project does a much better job of honoring both the spirit and the musical innovations of the Mahavishnu Orchestra.
