At the dawn of the 1970s,
Billy Cobham built his legend with his
bandleader debut, Spectrum . Raw, daring and overflowing with adrenalin,
the album topped the Billboard Jazz charts. Having played for Miles
Davis, Horace Silver and Mose Allison, Billy Cobham had joined the
legendary Mahavishnu Orchestra in 1971, before signing to Atlantic as a
solo artist in 1973. Worshipped today as a titan of drumming, Billy
Cobham's career is now in its fifth decade.
