Description of Spectrum
Spectrum is an instrumental jazz fusion release from the great drummer Billy Cobham, who wrote all the tunes on the record, which many critics and fans consider to be his best. Fresh from his success with the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Cobham delivers high-quality compositions (which include 'Quadrant 4' and 'Red Baron) make this fusion set a standout, a strong mixture of rock-based rhythms and jazz improvisation. Of special interest to guitar fans, Spectrum also features the legendary Tommy Bolin on guitar and Jan Hammer playing his guitar-like licks on Moog synthesizer, electric piano and acoustic piano. WSM. 2005.Cobham's first album as a leader, in 1973--a jazz-rock classic. As on his slightly earlier outings with Mahavishnu Orchestra, Cobham dazzles with rapid-fire pyrotechnics. But, listening carefully, he also does his job of rhythmic support--for this, he calls on his roots in drum-corps and Latin timbale drumming. His compositions here set fire to a stunningly tight band. The scowling, scurrying, skirmishing performance by the late rock-guitar ace, Tommy Bolin, is particularly memorable. He merges beautifully with Cobham's Mahavishnu bandmate, Jan Hammer (Moog/keyboards), who eggs Bolin on with warp-speed synthesized guitar sounds. The band was just as involved rhythmically as McLaughlin's, but had a gritty rapid-transit flavor where Mahavishnu was in spiritual quest. --Peter Monaghan
