Man, that's some plank Scofield's playing! I used to love this stuff, but no matter how hard I try it doesn't do it for me anymore. Playing is spot on and thanks Bubinbga5 for posting but I just can't work out 30 years on, why I loved this stuff so much and now it leaves me cold. Oh well, yet another problem that comes with age

Seen Billy last year, along with Hadrien Feraud..

Wasn't gobsmacked by Billie's stuff, but, Hadrien.. He was a few steps higher, than other musos on the stage..

More fantastic posts.

I first heard Billy Cobham on the Mahavishnu's 'Birds Of Fire' album, which I played to death as a youngster.

This is the track for me:

Probably the greatest drummer ever.

Love Cobham, but for me the greatest drummer ever, by a nautical mile, is Buddy Rich.

Yep, think I might have to agree, actually.

Well, I don't dig Hadrien's stuff either, but, on that gig, he was doin' his thing ok, and, during the last tune, he came up with a 'flurry' solo, which was simply sick.. I haven't heard any better than that from him anymore so far..

The second time I saw Rich my mate (who is a drummer) came along. At one point he actually fell out of his chair with amazement.

Anyway, back to the amazing Billy....

Does anyone remember the spat he had with Alphonse Mouzon many years back, especially about Alphonse playing in stack heels?
