Whims of Chambers is a jazz album by the bassist Paul Chambers released on the Blue Note label circa January 1957.[1][2][3] The album features performances by Chambers with Donald Byrd, John Coltrane, Kenny Burrell, Horace Silver and Philly Joe Jones.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "This is a fine effort and would be worth picking up by straightahead jazz fans even if John Coltrane had not participated."[4]
