I'm currently a jazz studies major. I was just starting out the Your Daily Jazz thing with something easy to digest. Don't fret, I'll get to this eventually.
I'm not a huge Mahavishnu fan, the are a little too diddly magnificent for me but Billy Cobham is one bad ass drummer. I sometimes listen to Birds of Fire and only pay attention to Cobham's drums, they blow my mind. Sounds like Cobham here, not Alias but I'd have to listen with headphones to be sure. Either way the drumming is great, the whole track is great for that matter.
Yeah I found this record for a few dollars and snatched it in a heart beat. The entire thing is fantastic.are a little too diddly magnificent
I can see where you're coming from, but I would say most of the time it's done tastefully.
