The universe is engaged in a miraculous rhythm that is the ultimate timekeeper. Due to his pivotal role in an important new documentary film, Billy Cobham, a master timekeeper himself, is now more aware of this than he has ever been.

The last couple of years have found Cobham involved in a wide variety of projects that have focused even more deeply on the percussive rhythms that he has spent the last half-century discovering and reinventing. This has given him both the chance to revisit his celebrated musical past and to discover how his rhythms may affect the world around him. Cobham is the central figure of Sonic Mirror--a groundbreaking new documentary film. The Hollywood Reporter says the film is “...a feel-good world music documentary with the potential to be the next Buena Vista Social Club."

AAJ contributor Walter Kolosky spoke with Cobham about his latest efforts and how they fit into his life and drumming legacy.
