Tapers Notes:

Jazz legend Billy Cobham performs at Catalina's Bar & Grill.

Billy started his storied career for the US Army, during which he played in the
U.S. Army Band as percussionist (1965-68). After military service, Cobham began
working in Horace Silver�s band. He also performed with Stanley Turrentine and
Shirley Scott, and recorded with George Benson. In 1969 Cobham co-founded the
fusion group "Dreams," which also featured Randy Brecker, Michael Brecker, John
Abercrombie, Don Grolnick, Barry Rodgers, and Will Lee. The following year he was
invited to join Miles Davis�s group and contributed to four pivotal recordings
by the trumpeter, including Bitches Brew. He later formed the Mahavishnu Orchestra
with John McLaughlin in 1971 with Cobham, Jan Hammer, Jerry Goodman, and Rick Laird.
They released three acclaimed albums before the band was dissolved and Cobham
chose to launch his solo career with Spectrum, one of the definitive albums of
the jazz-rock era.

Billy changes snare drums like guitarists change guitars. In other words, a Roadie
runs onstage with a different snare for every track.

The true thanks go not to me, but to the taping community behind whose footsteps
I have followed, including those who have perfected the art of stealth
recordings, the makers of the stealthy mikes, cords, adapters, and preamps, and
those who have graciously shared their recording techniques.

I am merely a mike stand with a credit card and driver's license.

As always, I don't care what you do with these files, once you download
them--they are yours now, except these files are not for sale, free
trade only. You can thank me by uploading something of a similar genre
or trading with me, so I can.

Regards,

Scooter
