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, plus supergroups the Brecker Brothers, UK and chart topping Missing Persons.
Bozzio both produced and composed all six of Chamber Works' epic pieces, which range between five and 13 minutes. 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.
“I think this is an essential release in his total body of work – it shows him as an amazing performer, a highly individual composer, a Stravinsky fan, a wonderful producer…” – Co De Kloet
"'He is astonishing - the fact that he's cute doesn't mean he can't play.'" – Frank Zappa
