Synopsis

Album Description
Spectrum is an instrumental jazz fusion release from the great drummer Billy Cobham, who wrote all the tunes on the record, which many critics and fans consider to be his best. Fresh from his success with the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Cobham delivers high-quality compositions (which include 'Quadrant 4' and 'Red Baron) make this fusion set a standout, a strong mixture of rock-based rhythms and jazz improvisation. Of special interest to guitar fans, Spectrum also features the legendary Tommy Bolin on guitar and Jan Hammer playing his guitar-like licks on Moog synthesizer, electric piano and acoustic piano. WSM. 2005.

Smooth,smokin',killer!!Tommy as studio CAT!!
R. Hanks Jr. | florida | 07/12/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This album was the 'high watermark'for rock/jazz fusion of the 70's.Taking nothing away from Mahavishnu,Beck or any others who put out stellar music from this period. This is the one for me!A desert island disc for sure,it's such a crying shame that TOMMY BOLIN IS STILL NOT WIDELY KNOWN TO THIS DAY!despite efforts by his family in keeping his name alive.I already owned this disc sans the extra track but when i saw that Tommy was on said track i immediately ordered it and promptly gave my other to one grateful freind.I highly recomend this disc to anyone besides Drummers and Guitarists who want to hear some of the most Tightest,exciting,smokin',smooth and soulful music ever layed down to wax!!BUY IT NOW!"

"Fast , furious , well executed , wild , and ... I remember the days and as it happens with most reissues from the past , It Works in present levels . Jan Hammer's farewell to good music . Tommy Bolins expectacular contributions , with Sklar and Carter . Just a timeless masterpiece of Good Fusion ..."
