Mahavishnu

What Jan Hammer used to do before Miami Vice.
This was a great band.. Miles Davis meets Motorhead, with Billy Cobham, the greatest drummer ever. They were responsible for the multitude of Sri Chimnoy inspired fusion bands in the 70s.. Shredding for Vishnu..

One of the reasons I liked Howard Dean is that he said they were one of his favorite bands. Instead of pandering to his audience, or trying to establish his hipness bona fides, he gave a straight answer. I thought that kind of honesty augured well.
