HBC is the new fusion super group comprised of three virtuoso musicians: Scott Henderson, Jeff Berlin, and Dennis Chambers who join to together to create one of the most phenomenal trios in the history of jazz-fusion. Mar 30, 2018 - Artist: Scott Henderson Album: Vibe Station Genre: Jazz Rock/Funk/Fusion. Scott Henderson & Jeff Berlin & Dennis Chambers - HBC (2012).
Dennis Chambers - Getting Even - 1992 - Glass House/Pioneer Originally released in 1991, this hard-to-find Fusion recording is worth searching for. This session features the brilliant drumming of Dennis Chambers, who was just coming into his own at this stage of his career.
The selections are fairly typical to the music Chambers was playing with John Scofield, who he uses here on a few tracks, along with another former employer, guitarist Mike Stern. The chemistry with Scofield, Stern, saxophonist Bob Berg and keyboardist Jim Beard is obvious as the three have worked together on several sessions.
The temptation to overplay here is addressed by a strong dedication to the groove and by allowing each player ample space. Aside from Chambers' innovative and powerful drumming, the session's excitement is enhanced by the rousing playing of guitarist Jimi Tunnell.
While this debut is not in the same class as Stratus (Billy Cobham) or Essence of Mystery (Alphonse Mouzoun), Dennis Chambers demonstrates why he is considered to be one of the most innovative and important players in the history of drumming. This debut is a fine representation of his playing, although fans are encouraged to seek out his extensive discography as a 'sideman' to appreciate his full contributions. © Robert Taylor © 2014 AllMusic, a division of All Media Network, LLC. All Rights Reserved Renowned drummer extraordinaire Dennis Chambers has been one of the most celebrated and influential drummers in the jazz rock/fusion world for around 40 years now and is still recording great music. Over the years he has worked with artists that include Billy Sheehan, Bob Berg, Herbie Hancock, Maceo Parker, Steely Dan, Tom Coster, Victor Wooten, Randy Brecker, Michael Brecker, Mike Urbaniak, Bill Evans, CTI All Stars, George Duke, Stanley Clark, Steve Kahn, John McLaughlin and dozens more. “Getting Even” is one of Dennis’ more obscure albums.
His drumming is superb and he is accompanied by legends that include Jim Beard, John Scofield, and Bob Berg. The relatively unknown Texan jazz guitarist/vocalist Jimi Tunnell also plays on four tracks. Arguably, more of Jimi Tunnell’s guitar work might have improved this album, but then again this is not a guitar orientated album and if you are into great drum and percussion players, you may find little fault with this great groove laden jazz fusion album which is HR by A.O.O.F.C. Listen to Dennis’ great “Outbreak” album, the superb Scott Henderson, Jeff Berlin and Dennis Chambers’ “HBC” album, and Jimi Tunnel’s cracking “Trilateral Commission” album.
