Renowned jazz drummer Billy Cobham started his illustrious career playing with legendary acts like Miles Davis, Dreams, and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Billy Cobham is one of the greatest drummers on the planet and needs no introduction or validation. He is one of the true masters and pioneers of jazz fusion. His group Culturemix continues that legacy without compromise or disappointment.
While each song captures a different mood, all provide good listening. Colours will expand the musical and sonic horizons of listeners. Indeed the introduction of the steelpan with non- cliche' like Caribbean lines frees the instrument and player (Junior Gill) to take on greater meaning and expression, and thereby contributes greatly to the freshness of the musical concepts and voicing of the pan. Steel Pan player Junior Gill has great command of the instrument and brings a new voice like the synthesizer to the jazz fusion tapestry, that has not been visited since the days of Return To Ever and Weather Report.
The Steelpan is an integral part of the sound of Culturemix, as much as the distinctive sound of Billy Cobham drumming. While always clearly in charge, Cobham is a not afraid to share the spotlight long and often with the members of Culturemix on Colours. The result is an artistic masterpiece of authentic JAZZ Fusion – with a realistic taste of the Afro-Caribbean experience always right around the corner when desired.
COLOURS, the culmination of Cobham's vision, band leadership, writing and production, assembled musicians from all over the world to form Culturemix. The ten-track recording is a colorful blend of ambient music, funky and smooth soul-jazz and blistering rock fusion. It features, as he himself says, the "shared concepts" of these musicians.
