Cobham, Billy -& The George Duke Band-

New York 1976

This high energy fusion supergroup is perhaps Billy Cobham's most exciting post Mahavishnu Orchestra outing. George Duke was at the time a central part of Frank Zappa's ensemble. Bassist Alphonso Johnson came from Weather Report having recorded 'Tale Spinnin', 'Mysterious Traveller' and 'Black Market', three of their seminal LPs. John Scofield, still two years away from his first studio date as a leader, was not yet a headliner but it is obvious from his performance here that he soon would be. The music is culled from contemporaneous Cobham and Duke albums with two Zappa tunes thrown in for good measure.
