Billy Cobham tune

Sign in to disble this ad
I've been trying to find this tune on YouTube and elsewhere and can't seem to do it - as I don't know what it's called. It might be off Funky Thide of Sings.

It's by Billy Cobham and the band he had around the time of Spectrum, and it has a distinctive bass line. It's partially slapped, with some fifth chords, and (if it were in E) is EEEEBA EEEEBBbAB(rest)G and repeats.

Anyone know what the name of this tune is?

Could have also been something he did with George Duke. Most of Billy Cobham's stuff had that 70's jazz fusion sound, so if it sounded funky, my guess is the album he did with George Duke.

All I can find is a live album, but i seem to remember a studio album as well.

Got to love that Album Art of the 70's and 80's!
