Billy Cobham on Spectrum, Composing, Mahavishnu, & Stress-Free Drumming

[Sean]

Had a second chat with Billy today. Last time we had to wrap it up before we got to discuss his solo works, so that was the main focus this time. He explains how he found the young prodigy, Tommy Bolin and his departure (i.e. firing) from Mahavishnu shortly after Spectrum was done, and much more. My co-host is my friend, percussion instructor, Eric Sanders.

Good episode. I should've had you ask Billy about his performances with The Fania Allstars in the 70s. I saw that group a couple times in the mid/late 70s and I wanna say I saw Billy with them (or maybe I'm imagining that). Good episode. You guys could go on forever with Billy.
