Worth searching for by fusion collectors. All Music Billy Cobham made this album at a pivotal point. The original Mahavishnu Orchestra had disbanded, John McLaughlin was wallowing, and jazz purists were beginning to complain about the rock influence. Billy helped show a new direction.

This album belongs in any jazz or fusion collection. By 'Crosswinds' has been in my vinyl collection since 1974, when I first picked up a copy at King Karol Records on 42nd Street in Manhattan.
Well, I recently became reacquainted with this recording after picking up a CD copy at a 'oh so trendy' record store in Haight-Ashburry, San Francisco. As I did then, I played the new CD over and over again, completely enraptured by Cobham's 'Ripley's Believe or Not' staccatto drumming and Lee Pastora's smoking Latin percussion.

Drive along Big Sur and take in the vast and dramatic California skies and scarred bluffs and you'll begin to undertand what hues of emotions this exquisite recording conjures.
