Magic ‎(CD, Album, Ltd, RE). Sony Records Int'l. Magic ‎(LP, Album, Promo, Gat).

Billy cobham - ya 2 CD new+. Billy Cobham - Magic Japan - Import. Billy cobham-magic-japan CD bonus track. A fusion album for fans of symphonic prog? "Magic" by Mr. Cobham is sort of a mixed bag, but oh what a lovely bag it is! Don't worry it's not unfocused, nor just a pile of ideas glued without a sense.

Strip away the viscous layers of gloss and indulgence, and Magic begins to live up to its title. Cobham's rhythmic interplay with bassist Randy Jackson and percussionists Pete Escovedo and Sheila E. is nothing short of astounding, as fierce and funky as anything in the drummer's catalog. But the songs are tepid and the arrangements overbaked, not to mention that Pete Maunu's guitar wankery verging on the point of absurdity.

Spectrum is the debut solo album by jazz fusion drummer Billy Cobham. The album was heavily influenced by the music of Miles Davis, with whom Cobham had previously collaborated extensively, and Cobham's previous band Mahavishnu Orchestra. The song "Stratus" appears in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV of the radio station "Fusion FM", as well as being the main sample in the Massive Attack hit "Safe from Harm".

This album is a little more mellow than Magic. There are 4 vocal tracks and 2 instrumentals. The vocal tracks are basic jazz songs. Some of them have a little funk thrown in. Cobham isn't the greatest lyricist in the world, but none of the songs are bad. There are very good sections. This album came out when the face of jazz was changing. People were moving away from heavy fusion. Sunday Brunch style of music was becoming fashionable. Souless groups were becoming popular. This out of Print 2 Billy Cobham albums on 1 CD is surely rare to find and a jewel to any CD collector who can get his hands on a copy. Magic" was released in 1977 followed by "simplicity of Expression" the year after. Decent Jazz fusion through out however, if you are not a collector as I am or a beginner to Cobham's music, try instead; "Spectrum", "Crosswinds" and "By design".
