My favorite Cobham stuff is his work with JOHN MCLAUGHLIN AND THE MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA, but the GEORGE DUKE and MILES DAVIS albums are definitely worth a listen or two. In 1998, he recorded an album with the band, JAZZ IS DEAD, which plays jazz rearrangements of GRATEFUL DEAD songs (?). No wonder it died! | ||||||||||||||
