About this album
The Best Of Billy Cobham distils the drummer’s early fusion work into a concise, high-energy overview of his funk-inflected jazz-rock language. Issued in 1980, it draws on material from the years when Cobham was helping redefine electric jazz with explosive technique, tight grooves and agile ensemble writing. Best known for his work with Miles Davis and Mahavishnu Orchestra, Cobham brought a rock-scale attack to jazz without losing rhythmic sophistication or improvisational bite. This compilation captures the qualities that made him one of the most influential drummers of the era: precision, power and a feel for momentum that kept the music both virtuosic and deeply physical.
