He's Back! David Sancious, the seminal jazz-rock fusion keyboardist/composer who has been the keyboardist of choice for everyone from Sting to Stanley Clarke, Peter Gabriel, Jon Anderson and Santana.  Sancious' records on Arista and Epic with his band Tone ("True Stories", "Just As I Thought", "Forest of Feelings" & "Transformation") are widely considered some of the most important of the entire fusion movement.

Sancious is currently taking a break from touring with Eric Clapton to play the first shows of his original music in many years!  He's joined by Will Calhoun and Doug Wimbish, the stunning drummer and incredible bassist from  Black Rock Coalition wunderkinds, Living Color.  Their music is an incredible blend of jazz, rock, funk, classical and worldbeat.

Helmed by drummer/percussionist extraordinairre Gregg Bendian, The Mahavishnu Project performing at Orion on March 30th is the new, improved version of the band that played back in 2000. With guitar wizard Pete McCann now on board for over a year, the band is at a whole new level. In addition to Mahavishnu classics like "Meeting of the Spirits" and "Birds of Fire", they now also perform rarities like "Dream", "Awakening" and "Trilogy".  They've even added some post-Mahavishnu Jan Hammer tunes and other surprises to the set.
