"I read it straight through. It really allowed me to see things from other peoples' perspectives. It made me feel very proud of all that we had accomplished. Walter's book really captures the spirit of the whole thing." – Mahavishnu Keyboardist Jan Hammer

"...a most enjoyable read, Walter knows more about the MO than I do and I was the bass player! If you were a MO fan, you've got to read this book." – Mahavishnu Bassist Rick Laird

"Ring, ring, ring the bells for the new hot book about the Mahavishnu Orchestra! It is the truthful and captivating story about Musical Geniuses who have not been touched to this very Day.” – Mahavishnu II Drummer Narada Michael Walden

"Walter's Mahavishnu book is just amazing!!!! There is SO much information (much of which I didn't know!), and just an incredible accounting of the history of this band. For me personally, it's great to see how our Mahavishnu Band fit into the entire picture. From reading, I am learning so much new information- about John, his music, his contemporaries, and my peers. I highly recommend this to any music enthusiast, and I believe it will certainly rank as a definitive work!" – Danny Gottlieb from the 1980’s Mahavishnu.
