FANTASTIC.......2006-11-07

THIS IS A GREAT CD IF YOU ARE A MUSIC LOVER AS I AM.BILLY COBHAM IS ONE OF THE GREATEST DRUMMERS EVER!!!!

This is an AMAZING jazz / fusion album............2006-08-22

Not much else to say, just buy it and play it and love it.

I have this on vinyl and quickly grabbed the CD when it became available. The style is unmatched, and Billy plays the drums as if he has 6 sets of hands sometimes.... freegin wild. My favorite track is clearly "Flash Flood" which takes you on a crazy ride down Class 5 rapids.... awesome.... AWESOME!

Recommended without reservation!

THANK YOU MR.COBHAM FOR YOUR LIFE STATEMENT.....

Exquisite.......2005-09-13

"Crosswinds" has been in my vinyl collection since 1974, when I first picked up a copy at King Karol Records on 42nd Street in Manhattan. Well, I recently became reacquainted with this recording after picking up a CD copy at a "oh so trendy" record store in Haight-Ashburry, San Francisco. As I did then, I played the new CD over and over again, completely enraptured by Cobham's "Ripley's Believe or Not" staccatto drumming and Lee Pastora's smoking Latin percussion. Joined by the Brecker Brothers, George Duke, John Abercrombie, Alex Blake, John Williams, Garnett Brown and other great luminaries of early jazz fusion, Cobham and his willing partners beat and shape a veritable masterpiece. Drive along Big Sur and take in the vast and dramatic California skies and scarred bluffs and you'll begin to undertand what hues of emotions this exquisite recording conjures. Crosswinds alternates between adrenaline musical rushes and absolute sublime chill, creating a perfectly balanced sinuous stream of sound. Simply exquisite!

Fusion was maturing.......2003-02-10

Billy Cobham made this album at a pivotal point. The original Mahavishnu Orchestra had disbanded, John McLaughlin was wallowing, and jazz purists were beginning to complain about the rock influence. Billy helped show a new direction. Crosswinds opening suite has lush and sophisticated horn arrangments, soothing a subtly intense rhythm. The effect is like night, tropical breezes, just as he wants to convey. You can almost hear the ocean, the music of the wild Caribbean (no steel drums of course, just cool). The rest of the album alternates between hot and cool, with some funky fusion and a beautiful extended piece, Heathers, near the end, featuring a trombone solo that sounds like the soundtrack to a loving and relaxing dream. The album is inspired, Billy at his creative best, showing the jazz world a new dimension that fusion had not shown before. At 35 minutes it is a little short, but we have quality here, not quantity. This album belongs in any jazz or fusion collection.

Crosswinds - Capercaillie.......2007-01-18

Good CD! Really like about 1/2 of the songs. Others are ok.

Crosswinds.......2003-09-04

I bought this album back in 1987 direct from the band (and signed) at a gig in Wales, within three years I had worn out the vinyl, so I was unable to play it any more.
That should give you an idea of just how good this record is, many say that the early Capercaillie stuff is less honed than the their later stuff, but I think it has the rawness that the music needs to be shown off to it best.
The style is younger than the records they produce today, but they were younger, and we've all matured from 1987.

Breathtaking!.......2003-03-20

I first heard "Puirt A Beul/Snug In A Blanket" on a Green LInnet sampler album, and when it came on I just stopped what I was doing and said to myself, my God, that's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.

I still feel the same way about that song, and for that matter, everything else on this early Capercaille album. If you're a fan of any Celtic music you simply must own this disk.

Karen Matheson's voice will melt your heart.......1999-03-16

I will buy anything that lead singer Karen Matheson records, but the best is to be found on the early albums - Crosswinds, Sidewaulk, Delirium - which are predominantly traditional in character. Sean Connery is quote as saying that Matheson's voice has been "touched by God" and I couldn't agree more. The other members of the band provide perfect backing to Matheson's powerful ballads and show their great talent in rousing jigs and reels on the instrumental tracks. Capercaillie is a favorite of mine among the current crop - along with Altan and Deanta.

Billy does his best.......2006-09-16

Early fusion pioneer drummer Cobham, who played with Mahavishnu and Miles. If I compare this with his albums of the same era, Spectrum and Total Eclipse, I would say this one is similar to Spectrum in Cobham's muscular playing and modal writing. Total Eclipse was more adventurous and varied. This album is somewhat mellower, excellent playing by all, some uptempo stuff, but I wish that the music would take off - the "gung-ho" of Spectrum is missing here. Cobham writes and arranges his music, and the drums sound great. Overall I would say this is an atmospheric album but not the most memorable of the early Cobhams. Personel features Brecker Bros, George Duke, and John Abercrombie.

I think this is a masterpiece!.......2005-02-15

Not only because I saw it performed live at The (sorely missed) Bottom Line in NY, but because Cobham is at his swinging, funky, explosive height. The tunes are great, the solos are great, and "Heather" is about the most mellow Jazz/Rock/Funk tune ever.
Pick this one up. It still causes me to break a sweat just listening.
