Mr. DC

"First of all I must admit that the CD would have received five stars if it contained more straight ahead jazz-fusion and more burning guitar solos by (one of the best fusion guitarists in the world) Jimi Tunnell. 3 Stars for putting up 2 bands with very important players and for the (import) price. For any one who is interested with Dennis Chambers, I would recommend his more progressive works with Steve Khan-`Headline`, John McLaughin-`The Heart of Things` and Bill Evans-the live album `Let the Juice Loose`"

GREAT

"I have seen dennis chambers live, and he is the GREATEST drummer ever. This cd is great because he plays with other great musicians too. Chambers really shows his talent on this cd even though he has no real drum solos in it. The price is high, so i bought it from ebay and got it cheap."

Why this CD is so expensive ???

"First of all , I was so amazed to find that this CD is too expensive in America.And I wondered why. In Japan you can buy this used CD for only five dollars.I have three of this CD.
What unlucky guys you are !!By the way ,this CD was recorded in N.Y. But the director was a Japanese guy.The reason why I say this is that the production was a little bit noodle. Moreover the focus was off the center.The biggest problem was the keybordist was not Mr.GREAT ADAM HOLZMAN. I was so shocked to find that thing.If ADAM had taken part in this project,the sound had been more kicking ass high power fueled proggy fusion.If you wanna hear more focused DENNIS CHAMBERS' album,you must hear ADAM'S album called "IN A LOUD WAY".You had better check that out!!!!"

Nobody does it better

"I bought and loved this CD. Some drummers, like Cobham, Gadd, and others, seem to disappear with age. Dennis just gets faster. I actually played in the Dunbar High School Jazz Band with Dennis in Baltimore back in the 70's, and he was amazing then. He BLAZING now !!! This CD was excellent, but he didn't get the chance to break loose on it. Myself and some of the other former members of our high school band, travelled down to Blues Alley in DC last night to watch and listen to the world's greatest drummer with Mike Stern, and we were not disappointed. We, just as much as any other musician that made the trip, did so to watch the usually mesmerizing Chambers solo and we got a LOT more than we paid for. You could hear the licks, but your eyes couldn't keep up with his hands. In short, BUY THIS CD. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. JEROME THOMPSON"

"First of all,I feel very lucky myself because of having this original unbelievable wonderful CD.I'm proud of having this album.I have looked for this disc many years..This album is valuable for me like other Chambers's albums.So I paid the price of it for a second without my eye's move.Still I keep this album's bill and the shopping date of it with the CD in the CD box.That's why I'm a huge Dennis Chambers fan.He's my man and my favourite musician in the world.Some of my hobbies are collecting his original bands,his discs,his vhs videos and now dvds past or present..I like his playing,his all the energy,his all the plan,his musicality(musical playing),his technical playing,his perfect and serious moves,his incredible solos,and his all the atmosphere much behind the drum setup.I like Dennis Chambers's touching to the drumkit..I like the sound much which comes from his drum setup.In this great jazz-fusion album that titled ''getting even'' shows Dennis's musical success and he does very important moves on some of tracks.Like always Dennis is at his wildest in this disc for me and one of the excellent albums all of times according to me.Musical director Jim Beard,producer Takao Ogawa.And the other musicians are:Jim Beard,Anthony Jackson,Gary Grainger,John Scofield,Jimi Tunnell,Bob Berg and Victor Williams,they are very good.Thank you Mr.Dennis Chambers for your greatest playing and for your greatest moments behind the pearl drum setup..."
