Terry Bozzio + Metropole Orkest 揅hamber Works?CD
$13.98
Terry Bozzio's new Favored Nations CD, Chamber Works, recorded with Holland's classical Metropole Orkest, might seem unexpected to those only familiar with the drummer's greatest "hits." That's because Bozzio - one of the foremost rock and jazz/fusion drumming virtuosos over the past 30 years - has developed such a reputation by being a scene-stealing legend with guitar gods Frank Zappa and Jeff Beck.
On Chamber Works, Bozzio plays through five lengthy movements and a closing opus with every bit as much speed, flair and ambidexterity as he did with any of his preceding ensembles.
Orchestrator Martin Fondse had his work cut out for him - the Metropole features violins, violas, cellos and basses; flutes, oboes, clarinets, saxophones, French horns, trumpets and trombones; harp, guitar, bass guitar, keyboards, and a drummer and percussionist in addition to Bozzio -- who's essentially a one-man combination of those two disciplines.
