Diddy and T.I.Chameleon, Masons April 29, 2014 solo debut for Concord Records and 10th solo project overall, adds one more remarkable chapter to his legacy. A blend of RChameleon takes its inspiration from the title track, which Mason co-wrote with Herbie Hancock, and is a knowing nod to Mason himself, aptly dubbed the Chameleon for his uncanny ability to perform so many styles of music. The album updates classic tracks that Mason either wrote or actually played on, such as Hancocks Chameleon, Grover Washingtons Black Frost, Patrice Rushens Before the Dawn, Donald Byrds Places and Spaces and Masons own Either Way. Look for Mason to hit the road with his new band Chameleon to support his Concord release.Mason is a founding member of Fourplay, and he continues to flex his writing, playing, arranging and production skills with partners Bob James, Nathan East and Chuck Loeb. Fourplays most recent recording, Esprit De Four, was released on Heads Up, a division of Concord Music Group, and debuted at #1 on Billboards Contemporary Jazz chart, receiving a GRAMMY nomination.With a commitment to broaden his solo career, Mason says that hes finally found a good balance. Its become more evident to me how much I love playing live and having interaction with band mates and music fans. Im not a smooth jazz player or a straight-ahead jazz player. Im more than all of that, I am the Chameleon.
