Mahavishnu Orchestra
"Apocalypse"
|
"Apocalypse", part of the CBS Records' Contemporary Jazz Masters series, features the second, expanded Mahavishnu Orchestra fronting the London Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Michael Tilson Thomas. A bold attempt to integrate classical sonorities into McLaughlin's jazz-rock palette, "Apocalypse" echoes Third-Stream efforts of two decades earlier while losing none of the electric band's gritty edge and probing improvisational twists. It's a timeless classic.
