Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ?

Nothing that I can find.

Would someone bring Paganini back, please, I got nothing to listen to ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6R5wb9iY6I

With acoustic guitar - John McLaughlin and Paco de Lucia. Malmsteen could've become much more than he did. So could Shawn Lane whos technique was quite incredible but the rest of him was not.
