Billy Cobham is acclaimed as fusion’s greatest drummer. His explosive technique powered some of the genre’s most important early recordings — including groundbreaking efforts by Miles Davis and the Mahavishnu Orchestra — before he became an accomplished bandleader in his own right
Palindrome is the second installment in Billy Cobham’s “Fruit From The Loom” series, and his first U.S, release in several years. The album features guest performances by Ernie Watts – Woodwinds, Michael Rodriguez – Trumpet, Marshall Gilkes – Trombone, Jean-Marie Ecay and Dean Brown at Guitars, Philippe Chayeb – Bass, Wilbert ‘Junior Gill Steel Pan and PanKat, Christophe Cravero – Keyboards and Violin and Marco Lobo – Percussion.
