Billy Cobham Quintet

“In music, you cannot lie; people will understand and tell who you really are. So, the more you are yourself, the more people will get excited. Because in music, and especially in jazz, it is the free soul searching for its match.”

The planet’s top fusion drummer and one of the most important and influential figures in the history of jazz fusion comes for a mystical night. With his explosive energy, unparalleled technique, and unique personal style, Cobham has left an indelible mark on the contemporary music scene. As a co-founder of the legendary Mahavishnu Orchestra alongside John McLaughlin, he has collaborated with some of the greatest musicians of all time, including Miles Davis, Stanley Clarke, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, George Benson, and Gato Barbieri. His historic solo album Spectrum (1973) remains a point of reference for jazz fusion to this day, while the iconic track “Stratus” wrote its own history, serving as the basis for Massive Attack’s song “Safe From Harm.”

Experiencing renewed recognition from the wider public and flanked by distinguished musicians, the unsurpassed “god of drumsticks” comes to Thessaloniki for an unforgettable musical experience filled with virtuosity, improvisation, and, of course, authentic jazz fusion.
