O’s Notes: Harvey is a celebrated drummer who defies classification in any one genre. He has starred as a leader and supporter on over 1000 albums over almost 50 years! He plays jazz: straight-ahead to smooth as well as pop and R&B. Hence the Chameleon title fits well and this recording celebrates where he’s been and where he’s going. Mason invites contemporary stars to join him as he refreshes classics and christens some new tunes as well. We are here to tell you the path is strong and the music will appear to a broad audience!
