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 PratoDown 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

really different!
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!

For die-hard devotees of Moulin Rouge, Moulin Rouge: Collector's Edition is just the thing, gathering both volumes of the film's soundtrack into a gift set. Moulin Rouge's occasionally ill-conceived mix of schmaltz and edginess is apparent on both discs, with Fatboy Slim's "Because We Can" and Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Pink, and Mya's hit cover of "Lady Marmalade" giving disc one a slightly hipper veneer than the second, which features love-it-or-hate-it selections like Jim Broadbent's version of "Like a Virgin" and the cast's performance of "The Pitch (Spectacular Spectacular)," a song that's nearly impossible to get out of your head. Still, anyone interested in buying The Collector's Edition is obviously a fan of Moulin Rouge's music, so this set delivers exactly that in a convenient package. ~ Heather Phares
At the very least, director Baz Luhrmann has created something different here. His modern-day musical weaves new cover versions of songs from the past three decades into one story about a brothel in turn of the century Paris. Its an odd combination to begin with, and the soundtrack itself bounces back and forth between very hip, modern tracks from artists at the top of their game and big Broadway-style ballads from the cast of the film. Some of the most well-respected names in music signed on for the project, including Beck, Bono, Timbaland, and David Bowie. Fatboy Slim created a "Can Can" for the next generation with "Because We Can," and Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Pink, and Mya teamed up for a surefire hit with their naughtier version of Patti Labelle's "Lady Marmalade." In stark contrast to these edgy tracks, the album spends the rest of its time on love songs from Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman. They perform big-voiced, orchestra-backed versions of sentimental favorites like Elton John's "Your Song." The "Elephant Love Medley" strings together some of pop's sappiest hits, including "Up Where We Belong," "One More Night," and "I Will Always Love You." Perhaps to many people's surprise, Kidman and McGregor can really sing, and maybe in a different environment it would be easier to take these songs seriously, but standing here outside the context of the film and next to Beck covering David Bowie, they seem more comic than creative. ...
