Many of these artists too to a greater extent than seem on Mahavishnu Redefined: Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Tribute to John McLaughlin too the Mahavishnu Orchestra, a generous double-disc of music written or inspired yesteryear McLaughlin that, inward its wide range, demonstrates simply how pervasive the guitarist's accomplish is.
