The age-old question you probably never asked, "Was Mahavishnu Orchestra the first jazz fusion band?", was something I've pondered many times. I'm still not sure, but they were definitely near the beginning. Lead by former Miles Davis guitarist John McLaughlin, and featuring Jan Hammer, Rick Laird, Billy Cobham, and Jerry Goodman on electric violin, this group of musicians definitely stand out as some of the best out there. Here they are with a shorter track that still captures the essence of what they were about.
