Broad Horizon

In the summer of 2016, Billy Cobham & Frankfurt Radio Big Band will release a CD titled "Broad Horizon," a brand new Fusion/Rock full length album. Ever since his breakthrough in the early 1970s - as a founding member of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, and as a drummer/leader whose recordings (such as Spectrum 40 and Tales from the Skeleton Coast) and powerful, complex style of play exerted a strong influence on the course of jazz and jazz-fusion - Billy Cobham has remained a tireless musical explorer. Panamanian by birth, a New Yorker by upbringing, and a resident of Switzerland for more than 25 years, Cobham has pursued an ever-broadening, ever-deepening engagement with the world not only as a master drummer and percussionist but as a composer, producer, educator, and clinician who gives service through music even as he constantly expands his personal creative expression.
