John McLaughlin,Mahavishnu Orchestra/Switzerland 1986

An official video from the FM on-air master of McLaughlin’s appearance at the “ESTIVAL JAZZ” festival held in Switzerland every year on July 1, 1986, when he began his reactivation under the name Mahavishnu in the mid-1980s.・Complete recording with high quality, stereo sound board sound source. First of all, it was around the time when they released their second album after reorganization, “Adventures In Radioland”, and although it is called Mahavishnu Orchestra, it is different from the 70’s, and the set list is full of original numbers from the 80’s. And the two bottom players who support them are strong, and first of all, Jonas Hellborg, a super bass player from Sweden after the death of Jaco Pass, has come to the forefront with this reorganized Mahavishnu. Danny Gottlieb, who is currently said to have the world’s best stick technique, is also known for his collaborations with Pat Metheny and others, and is a true technical drummer who was recognized by Buddy Rich as superior to himself when it came to stick skills. Compared to the explosive jazz/rock of the 1970s, it has a pop side, but Evans’ saxophone and Baird’s keyboard interact freely on the strong Potom, and of course McLaughlin also plays a key role while tightening the band ensemble. He showed off his amazing play. Therefore, as you listen to it, you will be reminded that it has a unique sound that reflects the times and moves toward the future. DISC 1 : 1. It`s Up To You/2.
