In the opening 'suite' titled \"Solarization\" (11 minutes long) he already shows his broad and certainly refined stylistic spectrum. Cobham's music leaps from high-energy jazz-rock with wild guitar and thundering volleys on the drums to highly original improvisations on the piano and winds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSmooth electric Latin grooves and gripping funky numbers are not missing either. Cobham's handpicked band is bursting with virtuosos. A look at the names of the three-man wind section proves the point: Michael Brecker, Randy Brecker, Glenn Ferris are highlights in themselves. And the then 30-year-old band leader himself was the non plus ultra when it came to jazz-rock drumming technique — his amazingly rapid drum volleys are just as sensational today as they were then. With this album this exceptional drummer will thrill all fans of first-class fusion sound similar to \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWeather Report \u003c\/em\u003eor \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReturn To Forever\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head.
