I got into Jazz back in 71, I had the distinct & unique priviledge of seeing Miles Davis in a small venue! Only one word to describe that... Wow!!! That was around the time that he released Bitches Brew, right after that he took a long hiatus.... With his growing addiction to opiates & cocaine he became very withdrawn from the world, that was after the car accident that broke his ankles & launched his addiction full blown. After that he pretty much went in seclusion & died in 91.... Really glad I got to see him while he was alive, coherent & playing like the legendary genius he was... Those were great times & left me with some incredible memories! 😎

I'll never forget the way the Tom-Toms curved out at the bottom, they sounded soooooo good! Almost made me quit playing drums after seeing him that day, knowing I would never be that good. Somehow, I didn't quit playing drums, but I will certainly never be that good... The man is an awesome drumming powerhouse!

    The guitar is a Roland GR-303, originally a "controller" for the Roland GR300 guitar synthesizer. It was made by Fujigen and it´s pretty similar to the Ibanez Musicians that were made by Fujigen as well. I can be used as a regular guitar without the synth. Pickups were originally humbuckers, but have been changed on this one.

Really cool version tho! Love the ending. Of course it's gonna vary over time, perhaps depending upon the venue and the players, ect. One of my favorite Cobham tunes.

    • @markshorter76
      @markshorter76 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Interesting observation. What they do in the ending is they start with the original vamp but then add another layer to it with gtr & kbd, while the bass continues with the same riff, but joining to those Gb, Ab, Bb -notes. Makes it more interesting. I also like the riff at the very end, takes it from Bm to Ebsus something. These kinds of things hook me to fusion, best of it is filled all kinds of exciting shifts.

      I remember reading an article with Will Lee who claimed that he lost the Spectrum gig with Cobham to Lee Sklar because his bass sounded like crap and he was always high way back in those days. It was a humbling comment on Lee's part because we all are aware of what a monster player he is today, but it also a practical comment on how musicians should look after themselves physically, mentally and spiritually. And of course, having gear in excellent condition.
      And to be fair, working with someone of Billy Cobham's stature and talent would require your "A" game completely!

    Generally acclaimed as fusion's greatest drummer, Billy Cobham's explosive technique powered some of the genre's most important early recordings -- including groundbreaking efforts by Miles Davis and the Mahavishnu Orchestra -- before he became an accomplished bandleader in his own right. At his best, Cobham harnessed his amazing dexterity into thundering, high-octane hybrids of jazz complexity and rock & roll aggression. He was capable of subtler, funkier grooves on the one hand, and awe-inspiring solo improvisations on the other; in fact, his technical virtuosity was such that his flash could sometimes overwhelm his music. After debuting as a leader with the classic Spectrum in 1973, Cobham spent most of fusion's glory days recording for Atlantic; briefer stints on CBS, Elektra, and GRP followed, and by the mid-'80s, Cobham was de-emphasizing his own bands in favor of session and sideman work. Even so, he continued to record for various small labels with some regularity.
    Bitches BrewWilliam C. Cobham was born May 16, 1944, in Panama, where as a very young child he became fascinated with the percussion instruments his cousins played. When Cobham was three, his family moved to New York City, and at age eight he made his performance debut with his father. He honed his percussion skills in a drum-and-bugle corps outfit called the St. Catherine's Queensmen, and attended New York's prestigious High School of Music and Art, graduating in 1962. From 1965 to 1968, he served as a percussionist in the U.S. Army Band, and after his release, he was hired as the new drummer in hard bop pianist Horace Silver's band. Cobham toured the U.S. and Europe with Silver in 1968, and also moonlighted with Stanley Turrentine, Shirley Scott, and George Benson. After eight months with Silver, Cobham departed to join the early jazz-rock combo Dreams in 1969, which also featured the Brecker brothers and guitarist John Abercrombie. From there, he landed a job in Miles Davis' new fusion ensemble, and played a small part in the seminal Bitches Brew sessions; he also appeared more prominently on several other Davis albums of the time, including more aggressive classics like Live-Evil and A Tribute to Jack Johnson.
    The Inner Mounting FlameCobham and guitarist John McLaughlin split off from Davis' group to pursue a harder rocking brand of fusion in the Mahavishnu Orchestra, which debuted in 1971 with the seminal The Inner Mounting Flame. With Mahavishnu, Cobham's fiery intensity was given its fullest airing yet, and his extraordinary technique influenced not only countless fusioneers in his wake, but also quite a few prog rock drummers who were aiming for similarly challenging musical territory. The 1972 follow-up Birds of Fire cemented his reputation, and by this time he had also become something of an unofficial in-house drummer for Creed Taylor's CTI label, known for a smoother, more polished style of fusion; here Cobham backed musicians like George Benson, Stanley Turrentine, Freddie Hubbard, Hubert Laws, and Grover Washington, Jr. Unfortunately, the volatile group chemistry that made Mahavishnu's recordings so exciting also carried over into real life and the original lineup disbanded in 1973.
    Crosswinds Deciding to make a go of it on his own, Cobham formed his own band, Spectrum (which initially featured ex-Mahavishnu cohort Jan Hammer on keyboards), and signed with Atlantic. His debut as a leader, also called Spectrum, was released in 1973, showcasing an exciting blend of jazz, funk, and rock that benefited from the presence of guitarists John Scofield and Tommy Bolin (the latter better known for his rock recordings); it also found Cobham experimenting a bit with electronic percussion. Spectrum is still generally acknowledged as the high point of Cobham's solo career, and holds up quite well today. Cobham followed Spectrum with a series of LPs on Atlantic that, like fusion itself, grew increasingly smoother and more commercial as the '70s wore on. For his second album, 1974's Crosswinds, ex-Dreams mate John Abercrombie joined the band, as did keyboardist George Duke, who would become a frequent Cobham collaborator over the years; that same year's performance at Montreux produced the live Shabazz. After Total Eclipse, Cobham moved more explicitly into commercial jazz-funk with 1975's A Funky Thide of Sings, which featured an expanded horn section. He pared the group back down for the improved Life and Times in 1976, and also played Montreux again, in tandem with Duke.
    The Traveler In 1977, Cobham switched to the CBS label, which set him firmly on the path of commercial accessibility. In addition to his records as a leader, he'd remained highly active as a session drummer, and began to focus on that side of his career even more in the late '70s. By 1980, he was done with CBS and began pursuing side opportunities, playing live with the Grateful Dead and Jack Bruce, as well as the Saturday Night Live band. He drummed for the Grateful Dead side project Bobby & the Midnites in 1982, and recorded three albums for Elektra in the early '80s with his new quartet the Glass Menagerie. During the mid-'80s, he cut three commercially oriented LPs for GRP, and spent the next few years stepping up his international touring and absorbing a healthy dose of world music. He played Peter Gabriel's 1992 WOMAD Festival, and the following year recorded The Traveler, inspired by a sojourn in Brazil. In 1996, he formed a more acoustic-oriented quartet called Nordic with three Norwegian musicians; the following year, he also started a German-based fusion outfit called Paradox. In 1998, Cobham began playing with a group called Jazz Is Dead, which devoted itself to jazz reinterpretations of Grateful Dead material; their album Blue Light Rain proved fairly popular among Deadheads. As Cobham maintained his touring, session, and bandleading activities, Rhino released the excellent two-CD retrospective Rudiments: The Billy Cobham Anthology in 2001.

During this song, Stratus, during Billy's drum solo, at one point he was drumming so hard that his stick snapped in half!!! The force of his drumming sent the broken stick crashing down hitting the stage floor, and then it ricocheted like a rocket straight up to the auditorium ceiling with a bang, and then crashed back to the stage, and bounced again!!!

    This is the first time I listened to an updated version of this. I cut my teeth on the version with Hammer and Bolin. Tommy no longer with us of course, he was an original as is Cobham.

    • @SofaaKing2
      @SofaaKing2 10 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      ***** I agree... nobody can be Tommy Bolin but Tommy Bolin! A true original is hard to beat...even by the originator.

    • @SofaaKing2
      @SofaaKing2 10 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Bolin was the guitarist on the original...

    I first saw and heard Billy with the Mahavishnu Orchestra in 1972 at Yale Univ, then at Princeton at a workshop in 1975. This is a highly evolved person, an outstanding man of distinction, like a lot of fine musicians are, the objects of my envy and providers of my infinite joy. Love and tolerance is my code...

    This cut from the LP Spectrum was my introduction to the genius of Cobham ( & the band). Hearing it played LOUDLY on a top-of-the-line (at the time) Pioneer stereo system just about blew my mind! And it's been blown ever since. MAMMOTH TALENT!

    People who live with envy inside are the ones who give thumbs down for this Masterpiece of the music.
    They will be always trying to be exactly what the ones that they are giving thumbs down are, but will never succeed just because the high level of envy, and this will block their evolution.
    Its is sad, but is the actual truth..

    I saw him at Carnegie Hall right after Spectrum was released in '73. That concert was so electric. The place was going wild. I'd never seen a drummer hit the cymbal on an upstroke before and it blew me away. Brought down the house when they played Stratus. Definitely one the top 3 concerts I have ever been to and I have been to many.
