JAN  HAMMER SPEAKS OUT ABOUT THE MAHAVISHNU PROJECT:
From the forthcoming book on The Mahavishnu Orchestra by Walter Kolosky (http://www.walterkolosky.com/), we give you original Mahavishnu Orchestra keyboardist Jan Hammer's comments after hearing The Mahavishnu Project perform the complete "Inner Mounting Flame" at Vishnu Fest 2005 at The Cutting Room in NYC.

“I really enjoyed seeing them.  It was great.  It was wonderful.  I admire those guys because they tried something that is very hard.  They managed to carry it off.  They did it.  They came through.  The key to the band as much as the mystique of John's Indian name or the music he wrote - I think what carried it through - was the performance of the five people.  It was a performing band.  It is very hard to get that on record.  Anybody can read the parts and learn them but then you have to step in and do something with it.  That is the key - what you do with it as a performer and improviser.  Improvisation is what finally makes it work in the end.  These guys really caught onto it.  That's what was wonderful about it.”
