Following the disintergation of his Mahavishnu OrchestraFind albums by this artist, John McLaughlinFind albums by this artist surprised the listeners by forming a new group playing acoustic Jazz-World Fusion based on southern Indian folklore. Enlisting the true masters of Indian music (Zakir HussainFind albums by this artist - tabla, L. ShankarFind albums by this artist - violin) McLaughlin combined his improvisational jazz based skills with the intrinsic Indian music improvisations, creating an amalgam of rare and breathtaking beauty, magic and messmerizing. The debut album was recorded live, as appropriate for improvised music. Absolutely essential.
