About Joe Chambers
A member of the '60s fraternity that recorded some of Blue Note's
greatest music, Joe Chambers can lay claim to a place alongside such
innovative artists as Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, McCoy Tyner,
Herbie Hancock and Bobby Hutcherson.
Born in Stoneacre, Virginia and raised in the Philadelphia area,
Chambers worked around the Philadelphia area in his late teens and
moved to Washington, D.C. in 1960.
In D.C., Chambers worked the famous Bohemian Caverns. Working in the
Caverns, Joe had the opportunity to meet outstanding artists who
performed in the area, and was urged to come to New York by Eric
Dolphy, Freddie Hubbard and Wayne Shorter.
Arriving in New York in 1963, he performed and recorded with several
of the more progressively inclined musicians associated with the Blue
Note label. Some of Chambers' recording credits include: Freddie
Hubbard's “Breaking Point”; Bobby Hutcherson's “Components,”
“Total
Eclipse” and “Happenings”; Wayne Shorter's “ Adam's
Apple,”
”Etcetera” and “The All Seeing Eye”; McCoy Tyner's
“Tender Moments”;
Charles Mingus' “Like a Bird”; and Chick Corea's “Tones for Jonas
Bones.” In 1970, Chambers joined Max Roach's percussion ensemble,
M'Boom as an original member. Touring and recording throughout the
70's, M'Boom also released three albums, for Columbia, with Chambers
contributing as featured composer and arranger.
