Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ?


Nothing that I can find.

Inner Mounting Flame and Visions Of The Emerald Beyond are masterpieces.
Never liked One Truth Band, that music has no meaning to me. I think, John's last great album was Que Alegria, just listen to the Reincarnation composition.
I saw the Mahavishnu Orchestra in 1972 or 73.  Great concert!  My very favorite album is probably Visions of the Emerald Beyond which is best enjoyed with the volume turned up very loud.
I'd say that Inner Mounting Flame is very earthly and Visions has a cosmic feel to it, especially some tracks.
I wish they'd recorded Mahavishnu better. I listen to the original Japanese records, best sound you can get.
Love Mahavishnu Orchestra. Saw them in 1975 (Jean Luc Ponty). I think John's latest album "Black Light" with the 4th Dimension is really worth a listen.
