Dennis Chambers: Outbreak (2002)

A formidable, ferocious and ultra-funky presence behind the kit in such celebrated ensembles as Parliament-Funkadelic, Steely Dan, Santana and the Brecker Brothers as well as incendiary fusion outfits led by guitarists John Scofield, Mike Stern and John McLaughlin, Dennis Chambers is everyone's choice for all world drummer. On "Outbreak", his Stateside debut as a leader, Dennis slams home some solid grooves in the company of such heavyweights as guitarists Scofield, Jon Herington, Nick Moroch and Dean Brown, bassists Will Lee, Gary Willis, Matthew Garrison and his old P-Funk rhythm tandem mate Rodney 'Skeet' Curtis, saxophonists Michael Brecker, Bobby Malach and Aaron Heick, trumpeter Randy Brecker and long time colleague and keyboardist Jim Beard, who produced the New York session.

Breckers Brothers Out of the Loop (1994)

OUT OF THE LOOP won the 1995 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Performance, and "African Skies" won the Grammy for Best Instrumental Composition. "African Skies" was also nominated for Best Jazz Instrumental Solo.

With OUT OF THE LOOP, the Brecker Brothers once again affirm their spot at the front of modern jazz. Besides presenting the expected mixed plate of jazz and funk, with this album the Brothers definitively prove that hip hop and swing are of the same groove.

The Breckers' trademarks abound. Solid composition, shiny production and superb talent qualify OUT OF THE LOOP as vintage Breckers with performances that rise to the strength of the arrangements. Their characteristic rhythmic twists and harmonic turns are held in check by a powerful yet sensitive rhythm section. Bassist James Genus links burning percussion and drums to the Brother's pure melodic expression and colorful harmonic invention.

What jumps up from OUT OF THE LOOP is its succesful incorporation of hip hop sounds into jazz. Amidst today's deluge of hip hop artists appropriating the token jazz riff, it's inspiring to hear the Brecker Brothers show how it's done on tracks like "Scrunge" and "When It Was."

In a world of jazz purists, easy listening, and confused genres, The Brecker Brothers have thankfully spun a loop of their own.

Recorded at Skyline Studios, New York, New York.

Personnel: Eliane Elias (vocals, keyboards); Armand Sabal-Lecco (vocals); Larry Saltzman (guitar, acoustic guitar); Robbie Kilgore (guitar, keyboards); Dean Brown (guitar); Dennis Brown (acoustic guitar); Michael Brecker (soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone, EWI); Randy Brecker (trumpet, flugelhorn); George Whitty (keyboards, percussion programming); Maz Kessler (keyboards); Chris Botti, Andy Snitzer (drums, keyboard programming); Steve Jordan , Rodney Holmes, Shawn Pelton (drums); Steve Thornton (percussion); Mark Ledford (background vocals).
