Mahavishnu – Mahavishnu

I thought it might be nice to mark the 40th anniversary of John McLaughlin’s eponymous Mahavishnu album released in 1984, unfortunately time constraints during the latter part of 2024 means it is now in its 41st year. A Personal Intro…

Gavin Harrison & Antoine Fafard – Perpetual Mutations
