The Iridium is proud to present legendary jazz and fusion drummer Billy Cobham's ART OF 5 featuring the alto saxophonist Donald Harrison who cut his teeth as a Jazz Messenger with the legendary Art Blakey; Pianist Julian Joseph whose multi-faceted career as a composer, pianist, bandleader, and BBC host is like jazz royalty in England. Trumpeter Guy Barker is a superior British musician with an attractive tone and a versatile style. Bassist ORLANDO LE FLEMING counts Ray Brown, Bob Hurst and Paul Chambers as important musical influences on his chosen instrument along with Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis and Wayne Shorter.

Billy Cobham got his start in the late 1960s with piano great Horace Silver then in 1969 he formed his first group, the jazz-rock band, Dreams with Michael and Randy Brecker. The growing popularity of jazz-rock kept Cobham busy with recording dates with Miles Davis, Stanley Clarke and John McLaughlin
