Billy Cobham's First Jazz Gig Out of the Army 

Hardman and Maupin, two monster talents. Best in the business. Love the way Bennie comes in softly and beautiful.

Holy shit ! This is real music !

Music in the best sense, in my opinion.

I first saw Cobham on TV with the Mahavishnu Orchestra, early 70's, then in 73 he released Spectrum & I became a forever fan.

Great American jazz masters !

I never knew Billy recorded with Horace Silver. Drummer Roger Humphries from Pittsburgh is featured on the Blue Note studio release of "Song For My" and he is a friend of mine. Roger's elder brother was a friend of my father's. This is awesome!!!!!! 🎧😉

Damn. Thank you

Thank you!

bennie!! billy!! I wish those two would make more music together!! oooh... they really pushed it out in the last 6 or 6 minutes!! I love that so much!! wow!!

Delightful! Billy was already playing open handed, and it looks like it came very natural to him.
