Program notes
One of the greatest drummers in the world lit up the Monte Carlo Jazz Festival in 2023, and you can relive every moment here as Billy Cobham, known for his album Spectrum and his unique blend of jazz, progressive rock and funk, takes the stage with Gary Husband, Rocco Zifarelli, and Christian Gálvez.
Throughout his impressive career, Billy Cobham has worked with legendary artists like Miles Davis, George Duke, Quincy Jones, and Gino Vanelli. He is considered a key figure of jazz fusion, which he helped popularize in the 1970s as part of the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Finding inspiration in a wide variety of disparate styles, this one-of-a-kind drummer developed a singular style of jazz, electric and electrifying, which you can discover or rediscover in this concert that amply demonstrates his astonishing technical abilities as well.
