The iconic Bay Area singer brings her ‘Give the Drummer Some’ series to San Jose Jazz concert series
Bay Area singer Faye Carol brings her series saluting percussionists to the San Jose Jazz Break Room on March 21.Faye Carol might seem like she’s hoarding the world’s greatest drummers, but the dynamic jazz and blues singer is more than happy to share.
A near legendary figure who gained international renown touring and recording with John Scofield, Chambers played with just about every major jazz fusion artist of the past 40 years. He’s so strongly associated with the plugged-in style that “a lot of people don’t know I grew up playing with singers,” said Chambers, 64. “The first record I played on that was a big hit was the gospel song ‘God Gave Me a Song’ by Myrna Summers. I think I was 10.
Carol and Warner recently got back from an East Coast jaunt that included an engagement with Chambers at Keystone Korner Baltimore, a club run by Todd Barkan, Carol’s old friend from her North Beach years in the 1970s and ‘80s. She and Chambers have struck up an affectionate mutual admiration society, and Carol hires him “whenever I can get the chance,” she said.
“I saw Greg years ago with Roy Hargrove and really loved him,” Carol said. “He’s always full of fire. He lives out of the country and getting him back here from Italy is a big thing that Joe arranged. He’s another person who has a big arsenal and can play just about anything.”
