Book Reviews of John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra (Mini Scores)

Book Review: John McLaughlin and the Mahavishnu Orchestra (Mini Scores)
Summary: 5 Stars

I wish this book existed back in the late 70's/early 80's when I was trying to learn to play this stuff with nothing more than a turntable, lifting the needle on and off over and over trying to figure out what was going on. This book contains true to the album(s) arrangements of 28 classic Mahavishnu Orchestra pieces from "The Inner Mounting Flame", "Birds of Fire", "Visions of The Emerald Beyond" and "Between Nothingness & Eternity". I've already used the arrangement of "Resolution" with my Jazz Quintet and I'm looking forward to trying some of the others. Just running through these pieces on my own is a pleasure. Great book!
