Mode for Joe, Sam Rivers’ Contours, Andrew Hill’s Fancy Free, and many more. The label’s owners – Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff – offered Chambers a chance to record his own album for the imprint during that fertile period, but he was riding so high on recording and touring with so many jazz greats that he declined the opportunity. Chambers eventually did release his own Blue Note debut Mirrors in 1998 featuring trumpeter Eddie Henderson, saxophonist Vincent Herring, pianist Mulgrew Miller and bassist Ira Coleman. On Samba de Maracatu, Chambers asserts himself more as a mallet pl...
