What an anniversary for music lovers! Things will get really hot in Krefeld on July 5th, as the legendary Billy Cobham will be performing at the “Jazz on a Summer Evening” event.

Cobham, who became active in the 1960s, makes it clear: There is no question of retiring. Rather, he continues his success story and goes on tour to delight his loyal fans. RP Online reports that the performance in Krefeld will be a highlight of the evening.
Greats like Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney are also very popular: in a new album that the Rolling Stones are diligently recording, McCartney will be heard on the track “Bite My Head Off”. Jagger highlights McCartney's natural and relaxed style, which will give the song a special touch. The two rock icons, who have known each other since the 1960s, work closely together - Jagger and producer Andy Watt have coordinated their approaches so that McCartney can play on a punk song. Guitar.com reports that a documentary about the making of the album is being planned.
