Billy Cobham "Stratus"


From the uploader, RasputinStream on YouTube.

4th track (without intro) of his 1973 released solo debut "Spectrum" featuring Tommy Bolin on guitar and Jan Hammer on keys. Unlike rest of the tracks, the intro on "Stratus" was not separately named and has been edited from this take. So, if you feel you are left missing it and for some strange reason do not own the album already I would suggest to go and buy it for yourself immediately.
