Album Review
Billy Cobham's second date as a leader was one of his better sessions. Four songs (all originals by the leader/drummer) comprise "Spanish Moss — A Sound Portrait," and, in addition, Cobham contributed three other pieces. The selections team him with guitarist John Abercrombie, both of the Brecker Brothers, trombonist Garnett Brown, keyboardist George Duke, bassist John Williams, and Latin percussionist Lee Pastora. In general, the melodies and the vamps are reasonably memorable. Cobham also takes an unaccompanied drum solo on "Storm." Worth searching for by fusion collectors.
Customer Reviews
Crosswinds
This is a great debut album by Billy Cobham! he has the funk and soul of the time. Heather is a sweet,quiet tune followed by a jazz funk classic Crosswinds. Definitely a great collection of music from the 70's
Good but not great
Cobham and recording mates have some moments of brilliance on this album, but a few less inspired sections as well. If you like funk/fusion, this is nice album to have but not essential.
Listen to this album!
Concept albums are so good when they're done well, which is rare. This is a truely amazing record!
