Any modern band that comes close to Mahavishnu Orchestra ?

Fairly recently I went to the live performance at BB King club in NYC of Allan Holdsworth -- Casio guitar (Soft Machine), Eddie Jobson electric violin and keyboards (UK) and Chad Wakerman(FZ drummer). They're above the level of Mahavishnu Orchestra by all possible means. 

Shortly after WTC-9/11 I visited bottom line cafe (near NYU) with performance of B.L.U.E. -- Brufford Levin Upper Extremities with following crew:
Bill Brufford -- drums
Tony Levin -- Fender bass and stick bass
David Torn -- guitars, mandolin and other unusual string instruments; synth and loops not sure of models, pedals.
Chris Botti -- trumpet, pedals
The worm-up artists were California Guitar Trio produced by Robert Fripp. 

I did not know that Brand-X is modern band as well as Return to Forever.
I've always thought that they're 'siblings' to Mahavishnu, but definitely not 'children' with exception that there was a tour called 'Return of Return to Forever.
