Joe Chambers (born June 25, 1942 in Chester, Pennsylvania, United States)[1] is an American jazz drummer, pianist, vibraphonist and composer. He attended the Philadelphia Conservatory for one year.[2] In the 1960s and 1970s, Chambers gigged with many high-profile artists such as Eric Dolphy, Charles Mingus, Wayne Shorter, and Chick Corea.[3] During this period, his compositions appeared on some of the albums in which he made guest appearances, such as those with Freddie Hubbard and Bobby Hutcherson.[3] He has released eight albums as a bandleader and been a member of several incarnations of Max Roach's M'Boom percussion ensemble.[4]

He has also taught, including at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York City, where he leads the Outlaw Band.[5][6][7][8] In 2008, he was hired to be the Thomas S. Kenan Distinguished Professor of Jazz in the Department of Music at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.[9]
