Sanctuary (1973)
John McLaughlin, guitars
Rick Laird, bass
Billy Cobham, drums, percussion
Jan Hammer, keyboards
Jerry Goodman, violin
(5:02)

From Birds of Fire.

In NINE (4+5), McLaughlin's tune flies like a bird on fire (sorry). Goodman's violin plays the head and then everything opens up for a blistering McLaughlin solo. The head returns and McLaughlin continues soloing. This was early 70s Fusion at its best.
