About this product
Joe Chambers is one of the drummers from the fifties and sixties who, along with Max Roach and Art Blakey has influenced an entire generation of drummers. With an ensemble that includes stalwarts Eric Alexander on tenor saxophone, Xavier Davis on piano and others, Chambers here breathes fresh life into a number of well-known jazz classics. While the overall approach is mainstream, the sound is unequivocally contemporary. It remains reverential to tradition yet with a clear regard for jazz as a living, breathing entity.

Joe Chambers has been described as one of the great drummers to come out of the '60s. Also a master of all mallet instruments, piano and a composer, he has performed with most of the modern jazz giants, including Freddie Hubbard, Charles Mingus, Wayne Shorter, Chick Corea, Sonny Rollins, Dizzy Gillespie and the Max Roach M'Boom Ensemble. Joe Chambers, the composer, has scored soundtracks for several films and it is his composing and arranging talents which are spotlighted in his most recent recording with this all-star large jazz ensemble.

Joe Chambers - Landscapes [COMPACT DISCS] date 02/26/2016
In a somewhat incongruous setting of the basement theater in the Mayfair Hotel in London, on an ornate gilt chair, Fred McDowell, one of the last great Delta blues singers of his time, sat down to face his audience. Representing some of McDowell's finest recorded output, this performance, recorded live in 1969, underlines him as a leading light in the last line of blues giants on tracks including 'Write Me a Few Lines', 'Glory Hallelujah' (featuring Jo Ann Kelly) and 'When I Lay My Burden Down'.
