The Jimmy Chamberlin Complex is an exploratory jazz and rock outfit led by
Smashing Pumpkins drummer
Jimmy Chamberlin. A longtime jazz and fusion aficionado,
Chamberlin formed
the Complex in 2004 as an outlet to do something more experimental than his more alt-rock-oriented work. Also featured in the band are bassist/producer
Billy Mohler, guitarist
Sean Woolstenhulme, pianist
Randy Ingram, and saxophonist
Chris Speed. The group debuted in 2005 with
Life Begins Again on Sanctuary.
Chamberlin then took some time away from the band for his
Skysaw project and work with Chicago saxophonist
Frank Catalano. A non-album single, "Paranoid," appeared in 2016, announcing
the Complex's return. A year later they delivered their sophomore album,
Parable, on
Mohler's MAKE Records. ~ Matt Collar
