Released 1974, this was Billy Cobham’s third solo album, following Spectrum (1973) and Crosswinds (1974). Cobham was already famous as the powerhouse drummer from Mahavishnu Orchestra, and his solo work cemented him as one of the greatest fusion drummers. Total Eclipse pushes further into jazz fusion / progressive rock / funk, with complex compositions, orchestration, and a larger ensemble sound. | The Tangerine Tree
