I had the pleasure of meeting John at the beginning of his solo career when he was signed with Gramavision. Super nice guy. Dennis Chambers now........Unbelievable! Like Chester Thompson (Zappa, Genesis) & Ricky Wellman (Miles Davis), Dennis is yet another Great drummer from Baltimore, Md. I saw him on the Citizen Steely Dan tour in 1994. He did Aja total justice! Thanks for posting this! This combo was Excellent!
I first witnessed Dennis years ago when he was with parliament funkadelic. A bit over 40 yrs ago. And he still remains to me the most remarkable exciting drummer i have ever witnessed to this day. Every band I have ever seen him play with is extraordinary. And in this Scofield band they all musically compliment each other extremely well.
I saw a concert from this tour 87 in Sweden...and to this day it´s probably the most brutal and intense gig I´ve ever seen. Magic is an understatemant here... They totally were on fire and played three sets. Guess this was the first time people got exposed to Dennis in Europe and the drummers in the audience went nuts...a guy "lost it" and was jumoing up and down and screaming like in trance 🙂 What an incredible band!
Actually he continues playing like a right-hander, the difference is that what he previously played on the hi-hat he transferred to the snare and what he played on the snare he transferred to the hi-hat. ☺️
Doing what you love for a living is like being on vacation every day. These cats never took a day off. 🏖🎵🌞💖👏. RIP chick the hotel bar is still open. 🍷🍺🍕
What a group! Keith is bad enough by himself. So is Jack. So is Gary. That’s about all I can say. The music speaks for itself. I think I’ll listen them for another hour. Amen and Amen. Aśé!
Yes, all these guys are monsters. Amazing tune. As a guitarist myself, You've got to be one hell of a guitar play to solo on this tune fluidly like Frank does. (Dave always amazes me too).
