Dennis is an American drummer who has made a name for himself in the world of music despite the fact that he had no formal education in music. He learnt by playing in clubs from early age. Born in 1960 in Baltimore, Dennis Chambers started playing drums at the age of 4. His ardent interest in drums at that age propelled him to keep playing whenever he got a chance. This child prodigy started performing in clubs at the age of 6. Within a short time, he had been invited to perform in most night clubs in Baltimore area. After graduating from high school in 1978, Chambers joined Parliament and Funkadelic, a band he played with until 1985. Parliament and Funkadelic is a funk music group headed by vocalist George Clinton. It’s a collective of two bands consisting of the same members but records for different labels.

After leaving the group in 1985, he did a number of session work projects in New York. He also landed a job as the house drummer for Sugar Hill Records Company. After working for a while, he joined another band, Special EFX the same year. After working with Special EFX for two years, Chambers joined the David Sanborn Band and later on worked with John Scofield Band. The band disbanded in 1989. After that, Chambers joined the Mike Stern and Bob Berg Band. Chambers has however played for many other bands since then, including those of Randy Breckers and Michael Breckers, Mike Urbaniak, Bill Evans, CTI All Stars, George Duke, Stanley Clark, Steve Kahn's Eyewitness and John McLaughlin.

Dennis Chambers has also recorded his own record called "Getting Even" on Pioneer Records, and an instructional video on DCI.

Chambers is currently playing with Niacin, a group founded in 1996. Other Members of the group includes Billy Sheehan and John Novello. Though Chambers, as it is with other members, continues to work solo on other side projects, they always come together to perform as a unit. They have so far made remarkable success and gained a large following even though they play non-commercial instrumental fusion. With Chambers, the group has produced the following albums. Niacin - 1996, Live - 1997, High Bias – 1998, Live! Blood, Sweat & Beers – 2000, Deep – 2000, Time Crunch – 2001, and Organik – 2005. Chambers is also touring with Carlos Santana --- freedrumlessons.com

Jeff Berlin - electric bass;
Dennis Chambers - drums.

A meeting of four fusion whizzes could easily digress into a game of “Can you top this,” where any sense of composition gives way to an endless parade of chops. Chambers (drums), Berlin (bass), Fiuczynski (guitars) and Lavitz (keyboards) all play with a ferocity that can sustain itself for hours. Luckily 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. Chambers and Berlin, in fact, seem like they could cut loose a little more rather than just holding down a steady 4/4 groove on a few tracks.

At the same time, the album doesn’t offer much for listeners outside of the fusion/progressive-rock camp. As much it sounds like Deep Purple (a good thing in my book), Lavitz’s organ solo in “Foxy Morons” isn’t enough to overlook a theme that sounds like a nursery rhyme. Fiuczynski sounds stunning on his own “Last Trane,” but the effects he uses on “(Great) Ball of Issues” make his ax sound like duck quacks, which are as clever as the puns in these titles. And when Berlin takes the spotlight on “I Hate the Blues…(But Here’s One Anyway)” and “Deff 184,” it’s tempting to issue him a speeding ticket. --- Mike Shanley, jazztimes.com
