Our Take

Billy Cobham's latest release, "Compass Point," is a whirlwind of jazz-fusion goodness that will leave you feeling like you've just stepped off a rollercoaster ride through music history.

From the moment you hit play, you're transported to a world where drums reign supreme and every beat feels like a punch to the gut (in the best possible way, of course). Cobham's legendary skill behind the kit is on full display here, with lightning-fast fills and grooves that will make your head spin faster than a vinyl record on a turntable.

The album kicks off with the funky, Latin-infused title track "Compass Point," setting the tone for what's to come. Each track is a journey in its own right, taking you on a wild ride through different musical landscapes and sonic textures.

Standout tracks like "Sunrise on the Susquehanna" showcase Cobham's incredible versatility as a drummer, effortlessly blending elements of jazz, rock, and funk into a seamless sonic tapestry.

By the time you reach the album's epic closer, "A Night in Tunisia," you'll be left in awe of Cobham's mastery of his craft. "Compass Point" is a musical odyssey that demands to be experienced from start to finish, a testament to Cobham's enduring talent and innovation in the world of jazz-fusion. So grab your headphones, buckle up, and prepare for a wild ride with Billy Cobham at the wheel. Trust us, you won't want to miss it.
