Billy Cobham Takes Crosswinds Project to Europe Again
Billy Cobham again takes his Crosswinds Project to Europe, this time for 16 dates beginning today at the Turku Jazz Festival in Norway. This iteration includes Cobham on drums, Fareed Haque on guitar, Tim Landers on bass, Scott Tibbs, keyboards, and Paul Hanson, bassoon.
The Billy Cobham Band featuring Randy Brecker will have a five-night run at Ronnie Scott’s in London in June, and the Crosswinds Project will do six nights at The Blue Note in New York in September, also featuring Brecker. Cobham will also guest with the Austrian Big Band in June, and the Crosswinds Project will light up Montreal Jazz Festival in July.
The outstanding accompanying photographs and gallery are included here by kind permission of Olga Karpova, who took them August 12, 2018, during Cobham’s stop in Moscow during the band’s summer tour.
