In the '80s, there appeared to be an onslaught of fusion releases that managed to incorporate elements of funk into the mix, while also favoring an incredibly clean production. Although the style appeared to go largely out of vogue in the '90s, several veteran players continued to stick to their guns, including drummer extraordinaire Dennis Chambers. Chambers has been releasing solo albums since the late '90s, yet he's probably best known as a hired gun, having played alongside several renowned artists of the rock world -- Santana, Steely Dan, and Parliament-Funkadelic -- as well as guitarist John Scofield. In 2006, Chambers united with three other musicians equally skilled on their respective instruments -- bassist Jeff Berlin, guitarist Dave "Fuze" Fiuczynski, and keyboardist T. Lavitz -- and issued the ten-track jamfest Boston T Party. If you're a fan of expertly played modern-day fusion jams, Boston T Party should certainly be your cup of tea, as evidenced by such tracks as "D'funk'd" and "Around About Way." But if it's tight song structures you're after, Boston T Party is the complete opposite. ~ Greg Prato

Down Beat (p.69) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Shaded by the recording's immaculate sonic attributes, Lavitz employs an arsenal of synth/MIDI configurations, organ and other tools of the trade. It's a state-of-the-art jaunt."
JazzTimes (p.108) - "BOSTON T PARTY is built around writing as much as blowing, with most of the tunes coming from Lavitz. The group acts as a supportive environment to inspire the soloist without overplaying." Dennis Chambers Boston T Party Songs | 1. | D'funk'd |

 not what I expected
Sorry,I thought the music content would
be more funky jazz,as one of my favourite drummers Denis Chambers was playing on the c/d,but it lends more towards progressive pop,not to bad though there you go)T.Pope

the guitar player is the only one I didn't know of...really different! I guess I always think of Steve Morse when I hear T Lavitz, but hey, with musicians like these....it's gonna be great!!!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No not what i expected
excellent musicianship, however, not all tracks were my taste. I was glad to see Lavitz and Chambers together on a project, don't know of any others. Berlin and Fiuczynski were demons, first time ive heard them play. all together a great project and glad to hear it!

Boston T Party album
 $13.65 
The fourth offering from the guitar partners Brett Garsed and T.J. Helmerich finds the duo surrounded by some of fusion's best. The music has a distinctive Tribal Tech influence thanks to the presence of bassist Gary Willis, but the guitarists' distinctive voices make this a unique sounding quintet. Garsed's long flowing lines are complemented ...

Boston T Party music CDs
$14.29 
Although he's primarily known as a heavy metal shredder, guitarist Greg Howe can pretty much adapt to any style thrown his way -- including jazz fusion. And this is precisely the style that is featured throughout 2003's Extraction, which saw Howe joined by such top-notch instrumentalists as Victor Wooten on bass and Dennis Chambers on drums (as well as David Cook on keys). Longtime fans of Howe who are hoping for at least a glimpse of his hard rock roots are out of luck here, as the tunes often recall the carefree fusion days of the 1970s, when such artists as Billy Cobham, Stanley Clarke, and Al di Meola were consistently giving a clinic with chops-heavy tunes. As far as modern-day fusion goes, Extraction is pretty darn consistent from front to back, as evidenced by such uptempo ditties as "Extraction" and "Crack It Way Open," as well as more tranquil moments like "Tease" and "Ease Up." Howe, Wooten, and Chambers ...

Boston T Party songs
$14.49
Steve Smith's Vital Information has evolved from being a fusion band into one that is closer to soul-jazz. He had led units under the Vital Information name for 21 years when he recorded Come On In, a tight quartet album featuring guitarist Frank Gambale (of Chick Corea's Elektric Band), keyboardist Tom Coster (who also plays accordion), and bassist Baron Browne. The music includes some grooves worthy of Joe Zawinul, straight-ahead sections, catchy themes, and plenty of funky rhythms that avoid being predictable, plus a heated up-tempo blues "A ...

"Lady Marmalade" won the 2002 Grammy Award for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals.
U.K. 2002 reissue of the hit soundtack combines volumes one, MOULIN ROUGE (Original Soundtrack) (2001) and two MOULIN ROUGE (2002) in one package. Two standard jewelcases housed in a slipcase.
In turning the story of the famed Paris nightclub the Moulin Rouge into a modern day fable celebrating love and creative inspiration, Baz Luhrman creates an accompanying soundtrack that exalts 20th century pop composers at the same time as it's blurring their musical boundaries. It's an approach best exemplified by dramatic leads Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor during the gorgeous "Elephant Love Melody," an endearing call-and-response during which lines from songs by the Beatles, Kiss, U2, Wings, and Thelma Houston are ...
