Billy Cobham with the Guy Barker Big Band
Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, W1D 4HT , [Venue Details]In 2001, Guy Barker joined Billy Cobham's quintet, recorded 'The Art of Five,' and toured. As Guy shifted to composing, Billy asked him to arrange music for a big band.
For these concerts Billy's quartet and Guy's big band feature soloists, including saxophonist Chris Hunter, who first played with Guy at Ronnie's in 1980 before moving to New York and joining the Gil Evans band.
With his matchless, dazzling, ambidextrous skills Billy Cobham has applied the same insistent fervour to his long list of monumental achievements. He’s an accomplished composer and record producer. It is a rarely known fact that he was at the forefront of the electronic music industry and its development through Jazz.
He was one of the first percussionists, along with Max Roach and Tony Williams to utilize the Electronic Drum Controller made in 1968 by the Meazzi Drum Company in Milano, Italy, while on concert tour with Horace Silver in Europe. He is one of the few percussionists, specialising in the jazz drum set to lead his own band. The award winning Cobham has custom designed trend setting acoustic and electronic drum sets and has endorsed products that he created and refined.
