“The great drummer Joe Chambers was a stalwart presence on many of the most progressive Blue Note albums of the mid-1960s. But it wasn't until 1998 that Chambers made his own Blue Note debut as a leader with his album Mirrors. Now the venerated drummer/percussionist/vibraphonist/composer returns with Samba de Maracatu, a trio album featuring pianist Brad Merritt and bassist Steve Haines on a sterling set of original compositions, standards, and pieces by Shorter, Hutcherson, and Horace Silver.”
“Joe's drumming on "Samba de Maracatu" is the lightest of touches, befitting this record of samba rhythms picked in part from Brazil but also rooted farther afield in western Africa. Actually, Mr. Chambers' swirling, resonating tones on vibraphone instead dominate here, and along with the lilting piano and slight synth sounds of Brad Merritt, create an atmosphere of weightlessness and fleeting breeze.”-Robert Greiveldinger
