About

Walter Kolosky, author of the acclaimed Power, Passion and Beauty: The Story of the Legendary Mahavishnu Orchestra, spent years researching and digging deep behind the scenes to bring forth this remarkable tour history of the greatest band that ever was. This work is far more than just a collection of dates and places. Mahavishnu Memories transports you directly into the phenomenon of what it was really like when this trailblazing and sometimes controversial band came to your town!

Mahavishnu Memories has the added benefit of being edited by the noted author and Mahavishnu historian Colin Harper and having a foreword from Gary Husband – one of the world’s greatest musicians and a true scholar of the Mahavishnu way.

This book is for those that were there and for those that wished they were!

What people are saying…

John McLaughlin — “What a monumental work. Bravo!!!”

Jan Hammer — “If you are a fan of Mahavishnu music, my music, or interested in rock and jazz history, and want to relive your own memories or learn what experiencing a live Mahavishnu performance was really like, you need to get this book!”

Dennis Chambers (Modern Drummer Hall of Fame Member) — “Mahavishnu Memories is a must have. If you were a fan or not, you should still buy this book. … I’ve played with John [McLaughlin] and I didn’t even know some of these stories! Well done, Mr. Kolosky.”

Sid Smith (PROG MAGAZINE) — “… Kolosky’s detailed context-setting observations add objectivity to what often reads like the script from a fast-moving documentary, seeking to explain the inspiring lightning bolts that struck punters and performers alike. An absolute must-have for MO fans.”

Scott Yanow (Los Angeles Jazz Scene Magazine) — “Anyone who loves the music of the Mahavishnu Orchestra has to get this very impressive book … Walter Kolosky had previously written Power, Passion and Beauty, a book with the full story of the group. Mahavishnu Memories is a rather remarkable follow-up. It goes into great detail about every gig that the band had. … Rather than being a dry recitation of facts, Mahavishnu Memories is quite readable, contains some humor, and never loses one’s interest.”

Steven Rosen (Guitar Player, Rolling Stone, etc.) — “This deep-dive tome is extraordinarily researched and documented. Kolosky provides information and insights about every gig the band ever played. If you are a diehard Mahavishnu fan, you need to have this book.”
