I'm a sucker for bands with horn sections. And I'm a sucker for bands with two drummers. Why not also add in three keyboard players? Voila! Kolosso.
Blurb from FB: "8-headed beast originating from the depth of Bologna’s underground. 808, trap, drill, jazz."
Mahavishnu Orchestra live on BBC TV (Paris Theatre - 1972)
John McLaughlin: Guitar
Jan Hammer: Keyboards
Jerry Goodman: Violin
Rick Laird: Bass
Billy Cobham: Drums
Note: I once had the privilege of photographing Billy Cobham during a percussion festival for the Univ of Oregon School of Music. His playing was stunning. I got to get up close to him & his drum kit on the stage in front of a packed house of cheering drummers.

A wonderful time capsule: Bill Evans rehearsing in Copenhagen for a 1966 televised concert. This is a great look behind the scenes of vintage tv production as well as great music.
