It’s nice to see that one of my all-time favourite drummers is still swinging, or should I say, still funking, which is for me, the genre of music that Billy Cobham has become best known for. The other two musos in this trio, Bill Bickford on guitars and Wolfgang Schmid on bass are unknown names to me. At least that was the case until I did some Internet research and discovered that they have a wealth of albums and projects under their respective belts.This album was recorded live at FEIERWERK,Munich,Germany. It is a vibrant affair and a very clear recording. The performance is incredibly slick especially considering the complexity of the playing. Whether or not there were any over-dubs before the CD was pressed is not clear but it sounds really "live" with some audience noise coming through during the songs.Track List
