Legendary Jazz-fusion drummer Billy Cobham celebrates his 80th birthday by going large, in this electrifying new collaboration with Guy Barker and the full 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra.

鈥淲hat is life but a spectrum鈥� asks Billy Cobham - 鈥渁nd what is music but life itself?鈥� If you鈥檝e been anywhere near the jazz scene in the last fifty years Billy Cobham needs no introduction. He鈥檚 one of the most energising and transformative drummers in modern jazz 鈥� working with legends as varied as Miles Davis and the Mahavishnu Orchestra.

Meanwhile, in albums such as Spectrum, he鈥檚 redefined the way we listen. In his 80th birthday year we鈥檙e beyond thrilled to perform with him tonight, along with longtime colleague (and lifelong fan) Guy Barker 鈥� and to help him realise a long-cherished ambition. 鈥淒uring the last decade he has expressed a big desire to perform his music with a large orchestra鈥� says Barker 鈥� who鈥檚 created new orchestrations of repertoire including Red Baron, Spectrum, Crosswinds, Stratus, and A funky thide of sings. 鈥淔inally we will have the chance to do this鈥�, he says. Be there.
