Phil Moore Jr. • Right On

 

America pianist.
Son of pianist Phil Moore

Billy Cobham • Inner Conflicts

 

Review by Robert Taylor
A solid effort that has been dismissed based upon its associations with two Cobham lemons, Simplicity of Expression: Depth of Thought and B.C., all recorded around the same time. This recording finds Cobham continuing to explore the funk genre; however, the overall mood here is quite darker and more introspective, similar to Crosswinds. "Inner Conflicts" is a haunting song that includes Cobham's experimentation with electronic percussion and synthesizer. ""Nickels and Dimes" is a page out of Cobham's early work, while "El Barrio" is heavily influenced by African rhythms. Of note, Prince's former sidekick Sheila E. performs here with her father Pete. The closer, "Arroyo," is another of Cobham's memorable compositions that he continues to perform.

Reseña de Robert Taylor
Un esfuerzo sólido que ha sido descartado en función de sus asociaciones con dos limones Cobham, Simplicity of Expression: Depth of Thought y B. C., todos grabados casi al mismo tiempo. En esta grabación, Cobham continúa explorando el género funk; sin embargo, el ambiente general aquí es bastante más oscuro e introspectivo, similar a Crosswinds. "Inner Conflicts" es una canción inquietante que incluye la experimentación de Cobham con percusión electrónica y sintetizador. ""Nickels and Dimes" es una página de los primeros trabajos de Cobham, mientras que "El Barrio" está fuertemente influenciado por los ritmos africanos. Cabe destacar que la excompañera de Prince, Sheila E., actúa aquí con su padre Pete. El cerrador, "Arroyo", es otra de las composiciones memorables de Cobham que continúa interpretando.
