During this period, Cobham was also hired multiple times by Miles Davis to record several of his compositions (which were then released over several of Miles&#8217; albums, including the ground-breaking jazz-fusion album <i>Bitches Brew<\/i>). He was inducted into the Modern Drummer Hall Of Fame in 1987.<\/p>\n<p>Having inspired drummers such as Carter Beauford and Dennis Chambers, Billy is one of the most influential drummers in history.
