"RETURN TO THE EMERALD BEYOND" NOW ON SALE!



The Mahavishnu Project's new release on Cuneiform Records features a journey
back to Mahavishnu's classic 1975 album, "Visions of the Emerald Beyond".

"Return To The Emerald Beyond" shows The Mahavishnu Project once again going
all-out and in-depth as they jam, expand and explore on all of the songs
from "Visions", with three bonus tracks, including "Smile of the Beyond".

"Return To The Emerald Beyond" is a double disc with almost two hours of
music, featuring an expanded 11-piece band recorded live during the summer of
2006, and includes a deluxe 8-page booklet with lots of photos and a new essay
by Gregg Bendian.

"What is primary to me is that they are all great musicians. Everyone has to
be a good improviser. It's not enough to transcribe the tunes themselves.
You have to be able to take them to another place... These guys can get there."
- Jan Hammer

"...they grab the bar the original Mahavishnu set during its 1971-'74 peak
and raise it a notch. There's a truly amazing level of musicianship at play
here, balancing focus, intensity and freedom..." - The Boston Phoenix
"...an exciting document of inspiration and exploration. .." - Rolling Stone

Heath, I want to say thanks for bringing this new release to my attention. I will most certainly look into the Mahavishnu Project, often these jazz fusion recreations turn out well.

I'd heard of the Mahavishnu Project, and knew they'd been "approved" by J McG and others, but hadn't appreciated that they had done albums - will have to give them a try! Thanks Dick.
