Anyone seen that DVD he put out w/Dennis chambers on drums?

I think I have 2 cd's worth of stuff but I don't have song titles! I have a few T-Square cd's and a couple Akira Jimbo cd's! Casiopea music is hard to come by unless you want to pay import prices! My cousin, who did a tour in Japan (Air Force/4 years) bought a ton of music while there but oddly no Casiopea and he's a huge jazz/jazz fusion head! |

I've got all kinds of fantasies about laying down some tracks with Dennis, too bad I'll probably never get to meet him and even if I do, I doubt he'd have any reason to remember my name. Tasty fusion drummers are my (non-sexual, I am a family man, now) big musical fetish.

If you are looking for other releases, try contacting Audiophile Imports or Downtown Music Gallery, even if it doesn't show up as an available release on their site, both Mark and DTMG can find other 'hard to find' releases. Ever check out any mid-90's Shrapnel recordings? | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
