Jimmy Herring: Lifeboat
Herring's first solo album is one of the best jazz releases of the year.McCoy Tyner: Guitars
Latest album from the legendary jazz pianist, featuring John Scofield, Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, Derek Trucks, and Bela Fleck. Also includes a making-of DVD.Tadashi Goto: Innervisions
Heavy prog rock with guests Chris Poland, Brett Garsed, Ty Tabor, Tony Levin, and many others.OHM: Circus of Sound
Great new album from Chris Poland's fusion power trio.Cosmosquad: Acid Test
I've been revisiting this one since their DVD came out. Cool stuff.Return to Forever: The Anthology
Great two-disc "best of" collection from this classic fusion band.Greg Howe: Sound Proof
Howe's latest is fantastic. Great grooves and awesome jazzy shredding.Alex Machacek, Jeff Sipe, Matthew Garrison: Improvision
Incredible writing and playing. A remarkable album.
An interesting review that makes me want to see the footage of the '84 show, but really makes me yearn for video of the original lineup too. Mahavishnu Orchestra's live performances were catalysts in my musical life and I'm sure I'm not alone. The power of rock with the sophistication of jazz, this outfit proved to me and a generation of guitarists that you could have your polyrhythmic cake and eat it too.
