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.
The 8-CD boxed set Billy Cobham: The Atlantic Years 1973-1978 will be available 25 September from Rhino and features:
• Fully remastered, and lavishly packaged in a Clamshell Box. Each Atlantic album in a mini-LP CD cardboard replica sleeve with spine of the original artwork, and a 60-page, perfect-bound booklet, with period photos and liner notes.
• Includes two outtakes, ‘All 4 One’ from the 1973 Spectrum sessions, and ‘Neu Rock’n’Roll’ from the 1975 A Funky Thide Of Sings sessions, as well as the ‘Stratus’ single edit in mono and stereo from Spectrum (sampled by Massive Attack in ‘Safe From Harm’), the ‘Crosswind / Le Lis’ single from Crosswinds, the ‘Moon Germs’ single from Total Eclipse, both sides of the Natural Essence single from 1974 ‘Out Of Darkness / It's You I Need’, showcasing Billy’s talent as a producer, and the ‘Do What Cha Wanna / Hip Pockets’ single from the Live On Tour In Europe (With George Duke) album.
• Collaborations with fellow ‘70s fusion pioneers Jan Hammer, Tommy Bolin, John Abercrombie, John Williams, Randy Brecker, Michael Brecker, Cornell Dupree, John Scofield and Alphonso Johnson.
