Fresh from his success with the Mahavishnu Orchestra, Cobham delivers high-quality compositions (which include 'Quadrant 4' and 'Red Baron) make this fusion set a standout, a strong mixture of rock-based rhythms and jazz improvisation. Of special interest to guitar fans, Spectrum also features the legendary Tommy Bolin on guitar and Jan Hammer playing his guitar-like licks on Moog synthesizer, electric piano and acoustic piano.
