Billy Cobham - The Art Of Three -2001- -eac-flac- ((new)) Jun 2026

Recorded in January 2001 during a European tour, specifically in Odense, Denmark, and Oslo, Norway.

The concept behind the album was simple: strip away the synthesizers, the double-bass drum kits, and the electronic amplification to see how three masters of the craft interact within the traditional acoustic piano trio format.

: Reviewers note Cobham's "tasteful" and "understated" performance, focusing on nuance and acoustic rhythm rather than his typical rock-edged power.

This is the gold-standard software used for ripping audio CDs on Windows PCs. Unlike standard media players that rip music quickly and often ignore read errors, EAC utilizes a secure ripping mode. It reads each sector of the compact disc at least twice to ensure perfect accuracy. If a discrepancy or a scratch is found, EAC re-reads the section until it generates a bit-perfect copy of the original silver disc, outputting an accurate log file to prove the rip's integrity.

Spanning a generous 73 minutes, the album features eight tracks, a curated mix of beloved standards and two original compositions from the trio members themselves.

Often, high-energy drummers struggle with ballads. Cobham uses brushes here, not as a cliché, but as a textural instrument. The FLAC encoding captures the "shush" of the wire brushes dragging across the coated Remo head. On a compressed stream, this becomes noise. On a proper FLAC rip, it is sandpaper on silk.

Mixing and mastering were completed at Studio Paudèze II in Switzerland by engineer Blaise Grandjean .

From the opening notes of the album's first track, "Clock DVA," it's clear that "The Art of Three" is something special. Cobham's drums enter with a burst of energy, as Willis's piano and Cox's bass provide a melodic and harmonic foundation that's both rock-solid and dynamically nuanced.
