Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ?

Nothing that I can find.

That mandolin bothers me a little, but John is great. Sound quality is not good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVdgNXXbm_k

Not new, more of a root, but a direction to go if not already a fan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CtbhMMTqjc Maybe newer Mike Stern, or Allen Holdsworth, but as has been mentioned, Mahavishnu Orchestra was a very unique band, in a unique time. Try some of the Chad Wackerman recordings.

Would someone bring Paganini back, please, I got nothing to listen to ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6R5wb9iY6I
