1973 Mahavishnu Orchestra - One Word

From: Birds of Fire; Year: 1973; Genre: Jazz Fusion/Funk

Here's my nineteen-hundredth-and-seventy-third song picked, and as I've been doing as of late, this one from John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra was released in the year that coincides with today's pick number: 1973.
There were a couple of other songs I was wanting to pick off this album, but I couldn't find them on YouTube, so I finally ended up picking this 10-minute funky jazz fusion instrumental. Not a bad song at all, actually on the contrary it's an excellent piece of music, it's just probably not appreciated as much by those who like a more mainstream sound.
All and all an excellent song to close out 2012 with!

Hear One Word on YouTube.
