I suppose that's possible, but I've always heard his name included as one of the best. The problem was his music was really tough to label, and at some point he stopped getting much radio airplay, except on fusion shows, mostly on college stations.

I once saw Mahavishnu open for Return to Forever, and they all jammed during the encore. I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure Billy Cobham was sitting in on drums for the Orchestra, too.

The stuff that came from that stage that night was beyond belief...
