Billy Cobham is from Panama and grew up in New York, but here with J Michael Harrison on WRTI shows some respect for Philly and shares a tale from the Jack Johnson sessions with Miles Davis in 1970. At the time of this interview he was performing and recording with Philadelphian Victor Bailey. The B.C. Band will be at the Mauch Chunk Opera House in Jim Thorpe PA on Oct 8, 2010.

I'll never forget meeting him at drum corps practice in 78. He showed up and I asked him if he could play hambone. (backsticking) He laughed and did this slap thing. No no what I mean is this and tried to show him back sticking but I had a cast on my hand. Later he signed it. He was such a down to earth guy to talk to.

If you're in the area, his band is going to be playing the Mauch Chunk Opera House in Jim Thorpe, PA maybe 2 hours from NYC, on October 8. His show is like a tidal wave.

This cat has so many stories because he is such a part of the fabric of music history. The dude has contributed to so much of the history which brought us here to today. And I can say that Billy Cobham Jr. has played my drums!

Very strong and honest advice-great drummer and influence

@samiegfunk1 it's 'right off' offcourse! You can find some alternate takes on 'The Complete Jack Johnson Sessions'

@phillyphife i used to have this record. one piece of vinyl, and both sides had one continues jam session. soundtrack to Jack Johnson documentary. this record along with Witches' Brew, i guess, sparked the whole fusion thing that followed.

I seem to recall it was an unreleased track from the Jack Johnson sessions that ended up on a documentary soundtrack...
