Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ?


Nothing that I can find.

Another great fusion band from the 70*s/80*s nobody has mentioned was Pierre Moerlen*s Gong. Great stinging guitar solos by Allan Holdsworth mixed with jazzy sax and xylophone riffs backed by Moerlens fluid drumming.  Best albums:   Shamal, Expresso ( aka known as Gazeuse ),  Time is the Key and Downwind.  Have them all on lp don*t know if cd copy is available. Someone else mentioned Brand X WITH Phil Collins which I also endorse . Sounds similar to Return to Forever with Dimeola. Also recommend the original and later version of Tony Williams Lifetime.  The later version featured Allan Holdsworth and Williams powerhouse drumming.
