Ever since his breakthrough in the early 1970s-as a founding member of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and as a drummer/leader whose recordings (such as Spectrum) and powerful, complex style of play exerted a strong influence on the course of jazz and jazz-fusion-Billy Cobham has remained a tireless musical explorer.
His latest release, Palindrome, is the second installment in Billy Cobham’s “Fruit From The Loom” series, and his first U.S, release in several years. The album features guest performances by Ernie Watts – Woodwinds, Michael Rodriguez – Trumpet, Marshall Gilkes – Trombone, Jean-Marie Ecay and Dean Brown at Guitars, Philippe Chayeb – Bass, Wilbert ‘Junior Gill Steel Pan and PanKat, Christophe Cravero – Keyboards and Violin and Marco Lobo – Percussion.
