As one of popular music’s most renowned drummers, Harvey Mason has amassed an incredible resume that befits a legendary performer. He possesses the rare ability to play with a wide range of musicians in a variety of styles, from high-grade straight-up pop to stimulating straight-ahead jazz to smooth, R&B-flavored jazz. On the threshold of entering his fifth decade as an oftentimes behind-the-scenes star, Mason continues to deliver his stylistic innovation as a master of the drum set.

Harvey’s latest venture (outside of Fourplay where he remains an active partner and band member) is called Chameleon. Of himself Harvey says: “Chameleon defines me. That's what I identify myself as. I can easily switch into different areas of quality music." Chameleon intends to be a band with floating players and floating musical genres. An ever changing, ongoing process.

Recorded at Mason Sound Studios in Los Angeles, CA.
