Billy Cobham. "Spectrum".

Planet X

Hi,
Not a massive Jazz fan but but but have been listening to this album on and off over the years (going through a big listening phase at the mo.)

Anything else knocking around in the same vein? would you recommend anything.

"Spectrum" is an unbelievable album I think. (Use to listen to Tommy Bolin as a solo artist also.)

Cheers

Hi there !

Glad you are discovering the great world of jazz. Below is a link to one of my favourite electric jazz bands. If you search "You Tube" for names such as "Mike Stern/Bob Berg Band", "Michael Brecker" , "Weather Report" "John Mc Laughlin", and "Chick Corea", I'm sure you wont be disappointed. This is just the tip of the iceberg !! Happy listening !

That's good stuff...but something with a slightly harder edge?

If you want "razor sharp" edge search "Last Exit" on You Tube.

Here's four off the top of my head.......Nels Cline, Marc Ribot, Sonny Sharrock and Mahavishnu Orchestra.

Sorry, no time at the minute to look for interesting links but they are all well worth googling.

Some good ones there alright. Sonny Sharrock is in "Last Exit" which I quoted above.
