Billy Cobham Remembers His First Out of Body Experience Playing Jazz with Horace Silver

Nutville (Silver) - Horace Silver, piano; John Williams, bass; Billy Cobham, drums; Bill Hardman on trumpet and Bennie Maupin on tenor saxophone. Drummer Billy Cobham's first regular gig when he was discharged from the Army was with Horace Silver's Quintet in 1968. Two years later, he would join the Mahavishu Orchestra and make a dramatic impact on the percussionists worldwide.

Man, that's good. I didn't know Bernie Maupin and Billy Cobham played with my favorite, Horace Silver! Too much, brother! I need to go lay down.

Correction in the caption: "...he would join the Maharishi Orchestra..." , should be the "Mahavishnu Orchestra". This clip is priceless, though, thanks for posting!

[@JazzVideoGuy]

oops! thanks!

[@romainbertrand253]

Awesome music and footage here. Thanks

[@larry8664]

@@JazzVideoGuy Horace’s later vocal albums with Andy Bey should have been required listened to all elementary students. I had a talk with my lungs, said I will be good to them, etc… a friend of mine memorized all the lyrics to 21st Century Man. I think I got title correct. Inspiring lyrics and music.

Awersome band. Ironically, many years later Jeff Beck wanted Billy to join his band but was too intimidated to ask. I love Bernie's playing on Headhunters which has been among my favorites for decades. I have several huindred favorites, because trying to create a pecking order for those who have attained the heights of mastery is pointless

So great to hear his story. Always loved Cobham's music. Also his 70s fusion albums are very good. Even the later commercial ones include amazing musicians (e.g. Eddy Daniels) and great arrangements.

Billy is one of the greats, no doubt about that

I have to get that book.

so glad you dig!

Billy relates that rare experience of self-sacrifice to the music and the moment some of us are inexplicably granted!
It is a life changing thing to be the observer of one’s self and in my experience it only happens under the circumstances he describes.

well said
