The Mahavishnu Project - The ProgCast with Gregg Bendian
THE MAHAVISHNU PROJECT (Neil Alexander/Brian Mooney/Robbie Mangano/GB) is on tour playing the complete BIRDS OF FIRE by the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and in this episode of The ProgCast we meet up to discuss our history with the incredible music of John McLaughlin, Jan Hammer, Billy Cobham, Jerry Goodman, and Rick Laird. We talk about the joys and challenges of interpreting this classic jazz-rock unit's richly rhythmic, melodic and harmonic material and what it means for us as a jazz-rock fusion repertory ensemble.
