Legendary fusion drummer Billy Cobham and his quartet performed at the multi-genre festival the Symphony of Art in Bratislava together with the Gustav Brom Radio Big Band on September 11, 2021. Cobham's quartet—comprised of Steve Hamilton, Ulf Wakenius, and Fifi Chayeb (bass)—along with the Gustav Brom Radio Big Band dazzled with compositions including "Panama," "A Days Grace," "Sweet Bocas," and "Cancun Market."—all from Broad Horizon, a 2016 recording with the Frankfurt Radio Big Band. The concert concluded with the iconic composition "Red Baron" from Spectrum (Atlantic, 1973) but rearranged for big band. Cobham promised a Slovakian return with parting words reflecting the current Covid situation: "stay healthy, stay strong."
