About Billy Cobham
Seminal Fusion drummer Billy Cobham has built his career battering through jagged, off-kilter Jazz Rock beats interspersed with mind-blowing fills. His work on classic albums -- such as Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, Mahavishnu Orchestra's Birds of Fire, and his own Spectrum -- helped define the new style of drumming that was to dominate Fusion from the 1970s onward. On his solo albums, he brought together astounding, fresh talent (the Brecker brothers and a young John Scofield, for example) to work their way through complex odd-time signatures and furious improvisations laced with dizzying keyboards and crisply executed ensemble work. Cobham has recently returned from playing pared-down Jazz-Funk with his own groups and on projects such as Jazz is Dead. In addition to the numerous drummers slaving to figure out his mind-numbingly fast fills, Cobham's playing has had a strong influence on modern artists who have sampled his beats, including trip-hoppers Massive Attack and countless hip-hop artists.Jessy Terry

This is the companion disc to Flight Time, which was also recorded for the Inakustik label. While not quite as original as its predecessor, it is still highly recommended. A young Mike Stern had not completely developed his sound yet, but he's still unmistakable. Violinist Michal Urbaniak's presence gives Cobham classics like 'Stratus,' 'AC/DC,' and 'Total Eclipse' a fresh sound. Here again, Cobham is more than willing to let his colleagues step to the forefront and offer up their unique ideas, some better than other (Gil Goldstein's 'Wrapped in a Cloud' is enchanting while Landers' reggae offering, 'All Hallows Eve,' falls flat). The biggest disappointment here are the short song lengths, especially the early fadeout on 'Brooze,' but hearing Cobham and Stern together make this an essential recording for jazz-rock fans.
