Book excerpt: After much demand, the Collector's Edition (Print On Demand) Power, Passion and Beauty - The Story of the Legendary Mahavishnu Orchestra is finally here! This edition includes material from both the original 2006 print version and the 2013 updated eBook! Power, Passion and Beauty, called by some the "bible of fusion music," sold out its four print runs years ago. Since then, only an eBook and expensive used copies have been available. This POD book is brand new to those who have not read the original book's riveting story. For those that have, however, many new anecdotes, insights, opinions, pictures, and an extra chapter updating the story of Mahavishnu have been added. Herbie Hancock, Joe Zawinul, Pat Metheny, Sir George Martin, Jeff Beck, all of the original Mahavishnu members and almost 150 other music giants helped first tell the Mahavishnu tale in 2006. This time around, Carlos Santana, Chick Corea, Steve Howe and many other noted artists, producers, audio engineers and spiritual travelers join them to add to the legend that is the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Now music fans who have not been able to find a hard copy, worn out their original pages, or prefer physical books over eBooks have the opportunity to read about the greatest band that ever was! "Thank you so much for doing this book!" - Carlos Santana "Power, Passion and Beauty is a great book!" - Chick Corea "I was riveted by Power, Passion and Beauty." This music was life-changing for all of us who heard it, and for all music which followed and continues to emerge from Mahavishnu's long shadow. Walter is to be eternally thanked for stoking the Flame." - Christopher O'Riley, noted musician and host of America's National Public Radio and Television's From The Top. "Walter Kolosky is clearly the foremost authority on the most important and powerful jazz-rock group of all time, the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Power, Passion and Beauty is a must-have for music fans seeking a deeper understanding of the origins of the jazz-rock movement, and the greatest band the genre has ever known." - Rich Murray, the Guitar Channel "Walter Kolosky has made the definitive tome on the Mahavishnu Orchestra even more expansive and engaging. With fresh perspectives, sharper details, and new interviews, this is a must-have for avid Mahavishnu and John McLaughlin fans. For those of you that were there, the book provides great insight into your fond memories. For those who know the band solely through recordings, this book gets you as close as you can to the alchemy that took place onstage and in the studio." - Anil Prasad, Innerviews This book will also serve as a perfect primer for Kolosky's next book Mahavishnu Memories due in the Fall of 2024.
