![]() To me….Billy Cobham is da bomb….the album called Spectrum is my favorite by Billy because even more than Miles it kinda defines the genre of jazz-funk for me. This album, although its an instrumental has it all. Billy is right smack in the middle of jazz & funk….you can almost dance to the tracks on this album, but not quite….its madefor listening…….but you cant help but tap your feet & snap your fingers to it. Here is the track listing for Spectrum: 1.OUADRANT4 I should look out for that album. Who’s in Billy’s band on that one? The Jack Johnson album was the first Miles LP I bought, and You should be able to pick up "Spectrum" on CD for $9.99 at your local merchant. You can find it as a used LP and Tommy Bolin(g) is a well travelled ,eclectic musician on some cuts re: -Spectrum. I dig the groove on Bolin’s solo-Private Eyes" Don’t minimize that Cobham hand picked Tommy Bolin(g) for that LP out of a zillion guitarists .He adds a unique sound, IMO. Cobham is brilliant! enjoy Here is the line up for "Spectrum" – Billy Cobham: Billy Cobham – percussion Excellent band. Joe Farrell is the clincher for me. I’ll definitely buy this disc. Thanks. I haven’t heard the Bolin material you mentioned. Any other recommendations ?? Bolin only has one other solo LP-Teaser". Yo folks…..Did you know that Billy was an original member of Mahavisnu Orchestra with John McLaughlin, Jan Hammer, and Jerry Goodman. Now a lot of this work was before Spectrum, and the drummer who replaced him in the band was Narada Michael Walden. I have had the opportunity of seeing both of them live with John. Talk about intense!!!! Talk about the drummer man!!! (PARTIAL) BILLY COBHAM DISCOGRAPHY 1. SPECTRUM ATLANTIC SD-7268 1973 |
