CD ReviewsDo You Like Music? Mark Diamond | Sydney, NSW Australia | 06/07/2003 (4 out of 5 stars) "If you like music then you'll love this CD from Dennis Chambers. It's brilliantly played and produced with a fat bass and drum sound as well as a crackling heat to the horn/guitar lines. There's some great keyboard work happening as well. I am not really sure what it is that they are putting in the water in Gloustershire UK but the previous reviewer (with due respect) needs urgent professional counselling if he can seriously only give this CD one star. There are many ho-hum jazz funk fusion records out there but this ain't ho-hum. The tunes are good and the playing is top notch. What the hell else do you need?" BIT OF A LETDOWN Baddstuff | astoria, ny United States | 11/12/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "I had high hopes when I purchased this CD and while it has it's moments I was hoping for more from Dennis. I have seen Dennis with John Scofield, Niacin, and CAB so I know fully well how phenomenal he is on the drums, which is why I expected more. Dennis is a powerhouse drummer with incredible chops and a superb feel for the groove, he can funk it up with anyone.
I am more impressed with his work with Mike Stern, Scofield, CAB, Niacin, etc, than I am with what is on this disc. Hopefully next time around Dennis comes out with guns blazing. This is a decent CD but not his best, simple as that. And yes, he still remains one of the most incredible drummers I have ever seen. www.electriceyes.us" |
