John McLaughlin's Dance Of Maya
 John McLaughlin's "Dance of Maya" from The Mahavishnu Orchestra's
~Inner Mounting Flame~ LP is a whirl of harmonic and rythymnic impositions...
Sort of, "On Green Dolphin Street" in 'C', meets the Blues in 'E', 
in 10/8th meter, although John McLaughlin announced it (on a bootleg live 
recording) as being in "20" (20/16ths).
 The chords here are a masterful introduction to basic broad dominant 7th 
voicings, and germane, if spacy, substitutions, on transitions, a couple more 
way out than Jimi Hendrix's patented ~E7 #9~ from ~Purple Haze~.

 Bar [A11]' dropping, zig-zagging low notes reminds me of a 
similar bassline from Miles Davis's ~Bitches Brew~ album.
