Power Play by Billy Cobham - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

The follow-up to Warning was performed with much of the same band. The energy level seems to have dipped a bit, and the songs are not as memorable. The "Summit Afrique" suite is the best moment, but even that doesn't leave a lasting impression. A rather forgettable effort that was obviously aimed at the commercial jazz audience. ~ Robert Taylor
