Live Recording
Tributee: John McLaughlin & Mahavishnu.
Guitarist Jeff Richman conceived of, produced, and arranged for this project. A tribute to the Mahavishnu Orchestra, it utilizes the same instrumentation, with Mahavishnu alumnus Jerry Goodman being a welcome addition on violin. Each song features a different guitarist and there is plenty of heat displayed by the individual but complementary players (practically every top fusion guitarist other than Al DiMeola), all of whom are rockish and passionate. One almost doesn't miss John McLaughlin, since the band is playing his songs and the guitarists are mostly influenced by him. The only change of pace from the intensity is the closer, a version of the relatively mellow "Follow Your Heart" (which predated the Mahavishnu Orchestra) featuring John Abercrombie. This project is well conceived, and one would imagine that John McLaughlin would appreciate the colorful tribute. ~ Scott Yanow Visions Of An Inner Mounting Apocalypse: A Fusion Guitar Tribute Music Visions Of An Inner Mounting Apocalypse: A Fusion Guitar Tribute Songs | 1. | Birds of Fire - Steve Lukather |

Visions Of An Inner Mounting Apocalypse: A Fusion Guitar Tribute Music Review Average Rating: (3 out of 5 stars)  Sparkless
If this CD has its moment it is marred by a lack of intensity. Adequately played, well supported by the rhythm section most of the guitar solos, essential in McLaughlin's music, are sparkless. A few of the invited performers are simply going through the motion. For the die hard fan.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Good musicians - Lame effort
Well the first thing to understand is that this is NOT going to have the flair and intensity that John McLaughlin gave it when he originally did this music. However, having said that, one would think that anyone serious enough to attempt this music would put out more effort than what I thought was given. Yes, there are some shining moments, but overall, it has a lack-lustre sound to it. Better to stick with the original recording done by the Mahavishnu Orchestra.

Anyone with even a passing interest in classic fusion and progressive jazz will want to own TRIO OF DOOM. Comprising three giants of the genre--guitarist John McLaughlin, drummer Tony Williams, and bassist Jaco Pastorius--Trio of Doom recorded both a studio session and a live set in 1979, and this 10-track disc contains selections from each, including Pastorius's "Continuum," McLaughlin's "Dark Prince," and Williams's "Drum Improvisation." Needless to say the playing is superb, and the energy--complex, knotted, and consistently pushing toward astral heights--is dazzling.

Visions Of An Inner Mounting Apocalypse: A Fusion Guitar Tribute
$12.09
This Audiophile CD combines two Dick Haymes sessions made under the direction of Loonis McGlohon. The first was done in October 1976 and the second in May 1978 when Haymes was almost 60. (The latter turned out to be his final visit to a recording studio before his death in 1980.) And unlikely as it seems, his voice was at its strongest on the later date. The 1978 session was one of the most fulfilling of a recording career which started in the 1940s with Harry James when he replaced Frank Sinatra, who had moved to Tommy Dorsey's band. Along with Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra, he was one of the most popular male crooners of the 1940s and 1950s. Recurring public ...
