1	The Inner Mounting Flame (1971) more music like this by Mahavishnu Orchestra With John McLaughlin This is the album that made John McLaughlin a semi-household name, a furious, high-energy, yet rigorously conceived meeting of virtuosos that, for all intents and purposes, defined the fusion of jazz and rock a year after Miles Davis' Bitches Brew breakthrough. It also inadvertently led to the derogatory connotation of the word fusion, for it ... see all copies from $3.99! new only from $11.06!
2	Birds of Fire (1972) more music like this by Mahavishnu Orchestra With John McLaughlin Emboldened by the popularity of Inner Mounting Flame among rock audiences, the first Mahavishnu Orchestra set out to further define and refine its blistering jazz-rock direction in its second -- and, no thanks to internal feuding, last -- studio album. Although it has much of the screaming rock energy and sometimes exaggerated competitive frenzy ... see all copies from $3.27! new only from $11.06!
3	Spectrum (1973) more music like this by Billy Cobham Drummer Billy Cobham was fresh from his success with the Mahavishnu Orchestra when he recorded his debut album, which is still his best. Most of the selections showcase Cobham in a quartet with keyboardist Jan Hammer, guitarist Tommy Bolin, and electric bassist Lee Sklar. Two other numbers include Joe Farrell on flute and soprano and trumpeter ... see all copies from $3.90! new only from $11.11!
4	Total Eclipse (1974) more music like this by Billy Cobham This is Billy Cobham's third solo recording under his own name and is a fine follow-up to Crosswinds. The mini-suite "Solarization" not only showcases the band's technical abilities, but also Cobham's strong compositional skills. It also features a schizophrenic piano solo ("Second Phase") from the underrated pianist Milcho Leviev, who sounds like ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $14.46!
5	Crosswinds (1974) more music like this by Billy Cobham Billy Cobham's second date as a leader was one of his better sessions. Four songs (all originals by the leader/drummer) comprise "Spanish Moss -- A Sound Portrait," and, in addition, Cobham contributed three other pieces. The selections team him with guitarist John Abercrombie, both of the Brecker Brothers, trombonist Garnett Brown, keyboardist ... see all copies from $6.50! new only from $10.72!
6	Between Nothingness & Eternity (1973) more music like this by Mahavishnu Orchestra The first Mahavishnu Orchestra's original very slim catalog was padded out somewhat by this live album (recorded in New York's Central Park) on which the five jazz/rock virtuosos can be heard stretching out at greater length than in the studio. There are only three selections on the disc, all of which were to have been on the group's then-unissued ... see all copies from $6.04! new only from $6.04!
7	Mahavishnu (1984) more music like this by Mahavishnu Orchestra John McLaughlin resurrected the esteemed old Mahavishnu Orchestra for his mid-'80s quintet, even getting old mate Billy Cobham to fill the drum slot on the band's first album. But this is an entirely different conception than any of the '70s Mahavishnu outfits. The sound is cooler, less strident, more thoroughly dominated by advanced electronic ... see all copies from $11.88! new only from $14.46!
8	Dreams (1970) more music like this by Dreams Although Dreams is a legendary pioneer jazz-rock group that included such young players as trumpeter Randy Brecker, guitarist John Abercrombie, drummer Billy Cobham and the 19-year old tenor Michael Brecker, its music has dated very badly. This CD reissue finds solos being de-emphasized in favor of erratic and often unlistenable vocals. While ... see all copies from $7.00! new only from $7.00!
9	Picture This (1987) more music like this by Billy Cobham Most of drummer Billy Cobham's recordings have featured his groups of the period, but this set for GRP matches him with a variety of all-stars. Three songs feature Grover Washington, Jr. on soprano or tenor; Randy Brecker takes a flugelhorn solo on "Taurian Matador"; and other guests include Tom Scott (on his anonymous-sounding lyricon), ... see all copies from $5.15!
10	A Funky Thide of Sings (1975) more music like this by Billy Cobham After a string of successful solo efforts, Billy Cobham began to slip into mediocrity beginning with this recording, originally released in 1975. While elements of funk were always a part of his band's sound, it was now the primary focus. "Panhandler" stands out as the session's most memorable composition, while Milcho Leviev contributes nicely on ... see all copies from $13.08! new only from $13.08!
11	Imagine My Surprise (1972) more music like this by Dreams see all copies from $7.00! new only from $7.00!
12	The Lost Trident Sessions (1973) more music like this by Mahavishnu Orchestra Recorded in London on June 25, 1973, these sessions for a planned third Mahavishnu Orchestra album were shelved when the band decided to put out the live Between Nothingness and Eternity instead. Bootlegged in the past, two-track mixes of the missing album were discovered in the vaults in the late 1990s, paving the way for its official release in ... see all copies from $11.06! new only from $11.06!
13	Blue Light Rain (1998) more music like this by Jazz Is Dead Even in their dreams, the Grateful Dead never sounded this good. With a rhythm section made up of two electric jazz legends, bassist Alphonso Johnson and drum god Billy Cobham, this quartet uses the Dead's music as a starting point, then takes off to places unimagined by the great unwashed mass of Deadheads. Dixie Dregs founder T. Lavitz sits in ... see all copies from $5.79! new only from $11.13!
14 view cover	Live on Tour In Europe (2000) more music like this by Billy Cobham & George Duke Band see all copies from $11.56! new only from $13.76!
15 view cover	Rudiments: The Billy Cobham Anthology (2001) more music like this by Billy Cobham If ever anybody deserved a two-disc anthology of his offerings as a solo artist it's fusion drummer Billy Cobham. After making his stellar debut with John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra, Cobham made eight records for Atlantic from 1973-1978. To varying degrees, these recordings were true statements on the state of jazz-rock fusion. Many blame ... see all copies from $29.23! new only from $29.23!
16 view cover	Shabazz (1974) more music like this by Billy Cobham Shabazz captures Cobham's Total Eclipse band in a live setting, and contains two originals, "Shabazz" and "Tenth Pin." The other two songs, "Taurian Matador" and "Red Baron," which debuted on Cobham's classic recording, Spectrum, are given an impressive update. All of the songs are blowing sessions allowing each musician ample time to develop ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $15.60!
17 view cover	The Best of Billy Cobham [1988] (1988) more music like this by Billy Cobham Drummer Billy Cobham became a star during his tenure with the Mahavishnu Orchestra. His output during the '70s was inconsistent, but he did record two fusion classics, Spectrum and Crosswinds, which are both well represented here. There are also good selections from Total Eclipse, A Funky Thide of Sings and Live on Tour in Europe. Recommended for ... see all copies from $10.00! new only from $10.92!
18 view cover	Warning (1985) more music like this by Billy Cobham This was one of the earliest entries in the GRP catalog. It's a keyboard-dominated session, and definitely has a commercial sound to it. There are, however, enough drumming calisthenics to satisfy the intended audience. Cobham's band is not as exciting or as distinguishable as those from his days in the '70s, but the personnel are certainly ... see all copies from $8.49!
19 view cover	Stratus (1981) more music like this by Billy Cobham's Glass Menagerie This is the companion disc to Flight Time, which was also recorded for the Inakustik label. While not quite as original as its predecessor it is still highly recommended. A young Mike Stern had not completely developed his sound yet, but is still unmistakable. Violinist Michael Urbaniak's presence gives Cobham classics like "Stratus," "AC/DC" and ... see all copies from $8.00! new only from $12.39!
20 view cover	Life & Times (1976) more music like this by Billy Cobham The follow up to A Funky Thide of Sings is a slight improvement over its predecessor. John Scofield makes his presence felt on "Song for a Friend, I & II" as he showcases his now trademark sound. Cobham was still exploring various funk patterns, as evidenced on "Life and Times" and "East Bay." "29" contains some inspired playing by Doug Rauch, ... see all copies from $5.20!
21 view cover	Inner Conflicts (1977) more music like this by Billy Cobham A solid effort that has been dismissed based upon its associations with two Cobham lemons, Simplicity of Expression/Depth of Thought and B.C., all recorded around the same time. This recording finds Cobham continuing to explore the funk genre; however, the overall mood here is quite darker and more introspective, similar to Crosswinds. "Inner ... see all copies from $10.99!
22 view cover	Live: Flight Time (2000) more music like this by Billy Cobham see all copies from $13.74! new only from $18.72!
23 view cover	The Traveler (1993) more music like this by Billy Cobham The overall feel of this recording is very similar to Incoming. Peter Wolpl remains on guitar, as does Nippy Noya on percussion. The pianist has been changed to Joe Chindamo; however, his style is similar to Rita Marcotulli's on Incoming. The music is very dense and cannot be listened to casually or infrequently if one wants to absorb the full ... see all copies from $12.69! new only from $12.81!
24 view cover	Atlantic Jazz: Fusion (1986) more music like this by Various Artists For wary listeners who flee at the mention of fusion and all its attendant navel-gazing intricacy, this sampler of Atlantic-released cuts could make for either the ideal quotient filler or a gateway to overplayed jazz heaven. Broken off from the label's gargantuan jazz box set, this six-track offering covers the heart of the genre with decent to ... see all copies from $4.94! new only from $10.00!
25 view cover	70's Funk Jazz (1997) more music like this by Various Artists Funk Jazz compiles '70s fusion and instrumental funk highlights from the Polygram vaults, including tracks by Roy Ayers ("Everbody Loves the Sunshine"), Donald Byrd ("Black Byrd"), Crusaders ("Pass the Plate"), Billy Cobham ("Quadrant 4"), Quincy Jones ("Razzmatazz"), Brothers Johnson ("All About the Heaven") and the Average White Band ("Cut the ... see all copies from $6.01!
