Billy Cobham - Spectrum

It’s not just that George Duke is in there…this could almost be a Zappa album. I don’t know who influenced who, but there was definitely come cross-pollination going on.

Also rather fun when you hear a song (in this case, Spectrum) and realize that the very distinctive bass line was sampled by someone…here, Massive Attack’s Safe From Harm.

Billy Cobham - Spectrum LP cover. A kind of space starburst, very low-res, on a black background, with a thin white frame. There are a lot of reflections. Sorry, The red LP plays on a vintage, restored Bang & Olufsen Beogram 4000 linear-tracking turntable to the right.

Milt Jackson - Sunflower

1972 CTI release that’s an interesting transition, kind of just pre-Fusion. Lots of talent onboard including Freddie Hubbard (trumpet), Herbie Hancock (keys), Ron Carter (bass), Billy Cobham (drums), Jay Berliner (guitar)…and, well, strings, tastefully done.

A mellow, rather nice set.
