1560 Mahavishnu Orchestra - You Know You Know

1560 Mahavishnu Orchestra - You Know You Know

From: The Inner Mounting Flame, Year: 1971
Genre: Jazz Fusion/Progressive Rock

Here's a nice soulful grooving track from John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra; this one's a treat even for those who don't like technical music such as Jazz Fusion. The song is held together by a waltzing groove line, which carries it quite well while the other instruments solo around it. I really like Jan Hammer's keyboards and, of course John McLaughlin's guitar throughout; as with most Jazz Fusion bands the drums are incredible, Billy Cobham is just mind blowing. When listening to these Fusion bands, to me the drums are almost like the sun with the other instruments likened to planets orbiting it.
Many who are into Hip-Hop/Rap should recognize this song as well, it has been sampled many times over the years by various acts.
