John McLaughlin Mahavishnu Bill Evans John McLaughlin Bill Evans/Germany 1986

This two-disc set, featuring the new Mahavishnu band consisting of McLaughlin, Bill Evans, Jim Baird, Jonas Ellborg, and Dan Gottlieb, was released for the first time in 1986 at the Fabric Club in Hamburg, Germany, on a superb high-quality soundboard. Unlike the Mahavishnu of the 70s, McLaughlin’s performance is not just hard, but also includes beautiful ballads, proving his career. Of course, his overwhelming technique that simply makes the listener prostrate, his stunning guitar playing that overwhelms both electric and acoustic guitars, is still alive and well, and his performance also values ​​melody, and his wide range of musicality, such as Joe Zawinul’s “Josie” and McLaughlin’s new masterpiece “Pacific Express,” which Miles often played on stage after 1985, is reliable and never boring. The band ensemble, which features Evans’ saxophone and each member equally, is also an exquisite performance. The definitive version of the new Mahavishnu!
