Featuring: John Scofield, Gary Grainger and Jim Beard
Dennis Chambers is one of the funkiest and most electrifying drummers on today’s music scene. His grooves have burned through recordings by Parliament-Funkadelic, John Scofield, Mike Stern, Bob Berg, George Duke and Stanley Clarke, the Brecker Brothers, Bill Evans, Gary Thomas, Special EFX, and Steve Khan’s Eyewitness.
Serious Moves features prime examples of the explosive technique that has become Dennis’ musical trademark. His virtuosity and power are evident as he performs an open solo and a solo with a drum machine. In the interview segment that follows, Dennis breaks down many of his soloing ideas, such as lightning-fast single-stroke rolls, cross-sticking on the cymbals, ostinato patterns with the feet, and various hand and foot combinations that he uses throughout his solos.
Here together for the first time since 1987 with former bandmates John Scofield (guitar), Gary Grainger (bass) and Jim Beard (keyboards), Dennis’ funk-meets-jazz style drives such great Scofield tunes as “Trim” and “The Nag” plus “Wabash,” “Make Me,” and “Time Marches On.”
Serious Moves gives valuable insight into this extraordinary drummer, both as a soloist and in inspired performances with this exceptional band. Also recommended for bassists.
