Billy Cobham - A Funky Thide Of Sings (1975)

Hi guys!

Let`s talk about one of biggest drummers ever!
Billy Cobhan!

If you`re a drummer or funk-jazz-fusion addicted you may know him. If never hear about him or not even know what drum is (Ok.. I`m kidding)watch this:

You can make a better google search and have access to more information than my few minutes to write this post could ever bring you. So.. just some facts about him:

He`s born in 1944 in Panama and moved to New York during his early childhood where he graduated at NY`s High School of Music & Art in 1962. He played in a U.S. Army Band from 1965 to 1968. After that he`s been playing and recording mostly in jazz-funk and fusion style with many other talented artist such as Miles Davis, Stanley Turrentine, George Duke, James Brown, Carlos Santana and many others. He has a prolific solo carrer as well as you can check here in his 1975 album, "A Funky Thide Of Sings".
