Chambers performed as a sideman with some of the greatest names in jazz including Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Sonny Rollins, Wes Montgomery, Joe Henderson, Bill Evans, Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, Hank Mobley, Lee Morgan, Gil Evans and Freddie Hubbard. He recorded a half dozen LPs under his own name including his own compositions but is probably best remembered for his contribution to the greatest jazz recording of all time; Miles Davis Kind Of Blue. Mr. P.C.: The Life and Music of Paul Chambers tells the story of this quiet giant of jazz; his early experiences in Detroit, his early rise to jazz celebrity, his time at the top, his ultimate struggle against the tides of change enveloping the music that he loved and the circumstances surrounding his tragic death, aged 33, in 1969. Using material from other literary sources and interviews with family members, friends and colleagues with the jazz fraternity, this book represents the first time that much of this influential musicians story has been told. The book includes a comprehensive discography detailing all of his recordings both as a sideman and bandleader. If you approach this book as a biography you might be disappointed. Think of it as an annotated discography that serves as a biographical sketch positioned between beginning (the early years) and ending (post mortem appraisal) essays.The bulk of the book is devoted almost exclusively to Paul Chambers recorded output with a smattering of the events of his life and observations from fellow musicians. Just flipping through you will see paragraph after paragraph beginning with a song title. Rob Palmer is jazz bass player first and foremost, not a biographer. As such, his observations on the recordings are on the whole balanced and insightful. He is not, thankfully, writing one of those superficial star bios and he does not shy from recordings that are not up to the high musical standard Chambers was capable of.From Palmers research we learn that Paul was quiet (unnervingly so to some), humble, extraordinarily talented young man who was susceptible to addiction (or perhaps: susceptible to the pervasive drug culture of his time and place). He suffered most of his life, and terribly in his later years, from medical problems that he effectively masked from even those close to him. His early days, family, high-school, are described in the opening chapter pretty much by rote. The final chapter is a very nicely written, critical appreciation of his lifes work and legacy, with observations from his peers. It would stand very well on its own.But I find that so much of the book is given to the chronicling and analysis of the recordings that one has to go fishing to learn much about the man himself or the mundane facts of his life that we would normally expect in a biography: what he enjoyed or disliked, home life, how he prepared for a gig, how he composed and the hallmarks of his compositional style, what he thought of other musicians, music or other events in the world around him. There certainly is some of this in the book but it is slipped in among the notations and discussion of this or that particular recording or gig. To be fair, some of these things may be unknown or uncertain because Paul was reserved as he was and Palmer, to his credit, does not engage in speculation or armchair psychology and he does not dish out gossip. Then again, if one thing you enjoy is reading a well considererd review of some of your favorite recordings, you will find a wealth here.The book is organized around the recordings, not around the events in Paul Chambers life. Rob Palmer researched his subject thoroughly. His style is that of a researcher, not a story teller. This book fills a much needed gap; Paul Chambers deserves the respect he has always had from his peers and his good works should be more widely appreciated because of Palmers book. The book will also provide a reliable source for research into the history of the music.
