Billy Cobham (Featuring Ron Carter and Kenny Baron)
- Billy Cobham: Drums
- Ron Carter: Bass
- Kenny Baron: Piano
These musicians are legends, needing no introduction. They have have played with every key figure in the encyclopaedia of modern jazz. All three are also band leaders in their own right with recording experience that spans over 50 years. Billy Cobham, as leader of the band, is most famous for his fusion albums in the 70s which have been heavily sampled by a whole new generation of artists. 'Spectrum', for example, was the basis of 'Safe From Harm' by Massive Attack.
This album is a radical departure from the rest of Bill's recorded work as it is the first time he has recorded an album of straight-ahead jazz standards. The album has been anticipated for a long time by his many fans who cover genres as diverse as jazz, hip-hop & rock. It must be stressed that this album is very much a jazz CD and not a dance floor record. It is however, a superb album.
