Our Take

Ah, Billy Cobham. The man, the myth, the drumming legend. In his latest album "Magic / Alivemutherforyain", Cobham proves once again why he's considered a master of his craft.

The album kicks off with the electrifying track "Quadrant 4", a fusion of jazz and funk that immediately grabs your attention and refuses to let go. Cobham's lightning-fast drumming is simply jaw-dropping, showcasing his unparalleled skill and precision.

From there, the album takes you on a wild ride through a variety of musical styles, from the funky grooves of "Searching for the Right Door" to the intricate rhythms of "Snoopy's Search". Each track is a testament to Cobham's versatility as a musician, effortlessly blending genres and pushing the boundaries of what is considered possible on the drums.

But it's not just Cobham's drumming that shines on this album. The rest of the band, including keyboardist Alphonso Johnson and guitarist John Abercrombie, are equally impressive, creating a rich tapestry of sound that is as captivating as it is infectious.

In short, "Magic / Alivemutherforyain" is a masterclass in musical innovation and virtuosity. Whether you're a seasoned jazz aficionado or just someone looking for some killer beats, this album is sure to leave you spellbound. Billy Cobham may have been around the block a few times, but he's still got plenty of magic left in him.
