Information/Write-up

Vancouver-based keyboardist. Jacobs put out three other albums, wrote and produced over one hundred songs for movies and radio shows, designed electronic recording equipment, did a lot of session and production work, and played live with all kinds of people. The liner notes for this album also state that it was the result of a year's worth of work and experimentation in the studio by Jacobs and other musicians who met regularly "to pursue and develop different avenues of electronic sound."

Cobra was produced, engineered, mixed and arranged for CBS Records by Jacobs, and recorded at Total Sounds West Ltd. in Vancouver, with programming on the Roland Micro-Composer by Ralph Dyck. The musical line-up varied from song to song, but included Joel Wade (bass), Brett Wade (guitar), Jim Vallance (drums), Jim McGillveray (percussion), Wayne Kozak (sax and flute), Tom Lavin (guitar), Lou Hoover (drums), Brian Harrison (bass), Cat Hendrikse (drums), Doug Louie (electric piano), Doug Cuthbert (drums) and Ralph Dyck (vibes). The album as a whole is funky, electronic jazz-rock; one online review I found of Cobra described it as "like an instrumental Steely Dan record on synthesized steroids."
