Featured 2021 Musician: Joe Chambers CD Review
Cool cherished jazz Joe Chambers – SAMBA DE MARACATU: You can look far & wide, but you won’t find a multi-instrumentalist of Joe’s caliber these days… on his upcoming Blue Note release, he plays drums, percussion and vibraphone, alongside stellar bandmates Brad Merritt on piano, synthesizer and Steve Haines doing bass… absolutely the kind of cool & cherished jazz you’re needing to hear . . .
