	Daily Vault - December 2, 2002
		Following on the heels of the somewhat schizophrenic but predominantly dark Warner Bros. Presents album, Jump On It lightens things up considerably, benefiting from the clean, open production of Jack Douglas, who at the time was fresh from producing Aerosmith's Toys In The Attic.
		The lineup is also mostly intact, with vocalist Bob James, keyboardist Jim Alcivar and drummer Denny Carmassi returning.
		Denny Carmassi brings back the tribal thump of "Paper Money" and Ronnie Montrose lays down some explosive slide guitar as James wails a lyric that's every bit as urgent and primal as that memorable first Montrose album.

	Denny Carmassi sessions (The Musicians' Olympus) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Although Denny was later a member of Whitesnake, he's not in this earlier compilation because of that.
		I suppose Denny Carmassi plays here (as well as Jim Vallance) because they lost their original drummer, Steve Brookins, in 1986.
		This was their second album, and it seems that their current drummer had problems in the studio, so they invited top session drummers for the album, Cozy Powell and Denny Carmassi.

	Daily Vault - December 16, 2003
		Gone was Gamma 1 drummer Skip Gillette, replaced by Montrose stalwart Denny Carmassi.
		Denny Carmassi in particular is downright explosive behind the drum kit, delivering arguably the best performance of a career (Montrose, Coverdale/Page, Heart) that's seen some great ones.
		The chemistry here is evident from the very start, as the band kicks off with the well-crafted "Meanstreak," Carmassi and Letsch hammering the rhythm home under sharp Montrose riffs and smooth synthesizer fills from Jim Alcivar.

		Denny Carmassi is one of the great rock drummers of all time.
		That's that Led Zeppelin thing in this album, that's probably what you hear is that Denny man playing that big (bleep) bass sound.
		We cut that song — Denny Carmassi, Bootsy on bass, and me on guitar, and it was just rippin', man. I mean, it was almost like we didn't even have to do any of the overdubs.

	Canadian Classic Rock - Montrose Biography
		Enlisting the help of fellow session pros Bill Church (bass), Denny Carmassi (drums), and a talented, up-and-coming Californian singer named Sammy Hagar, Montrose soon released their eponymous first album in November of that year.
		Also poorly received and boasting a ridiculously ill-fated album cover to match, it never had a chance and the musicians soon went their separate ways.
		Carmassi joined Hagar's solo band (also featuring Bill Church by then) and later played with Heart and many others.

		Denny Carmassi - drums - formerly with Montrose, Gamma, Sammy Hagar, Heart, Whitesnake, Coverdale-Page, and Ted Nugent.
		With the exception of drums (played by Denny Carmassi) and bass on four of the songs (Don Bassey), Kevin Russell is practically a one-man band on this album, handling all of the vocals, guitars, and keyboards, playing bass on six of the eleven tracks, and authoring all songs.
		The album is instantly likeable from start to finish, and varies from straight-ahead rock to blues-rock.

		One of Sammy Hagar's rawest recordings, Musical Chairs features some guitars that are a treat for listeners fond of the much tougher, uncompromising music that Hagar used throughout the '70s to build one of the largest followings for an American hard rock solo artist.

		With a strong backing lineup that included former Montrose alum Denny Carmassi (drums), Bill Church (bass), and Alan Fitzgerald (keys), Hagar's music comes off lean and mean.

	Gamma - 4
		Numerous lineup changes began immediately with the first record, the imaginatively titled Gamma 1, as another old bandmate, Denny Carmassi, replaced Gillette and Glenn Letsch took over bass duties.
		Fed up with label pressures, the guitarist now keeps a low profile, periodically recording or producing, though he reunited the original Montrose briefly.
		Carmassi joined Heart in time for the Wilson sisters' '80s revival, and also drummed for Coverdale/Page.

		posted March 03, 2005 11:39 AM he did a brief tour with Foreigner a few years ago that was released on DVD, the extra footage on there is killer including some stuff of Denny warming up backstage.
		The first time I heard Denny (& Sammy Hagar) was in the mid-70s on the first Montrose album; it has a yellow cover.

	Montrose - Montrose - Audio Fidelity - CD
		Audio Fidelity continues their Gold CD reissues with a classic Montrose debut that introduced Sammy Hagar and Ronnie Montrose along with Montrose members Denny Carmassi on drums and Bill Church on bass, to an early ‘70s audience who appreciated their testosterone-based rock and overt sexual overtones.
		Bill Church left Montrose after this effort while Denny Carmassi went on to work again with Hagar in Sammy's solo outings.
		The Audio Fidelity Gold release of this classic offers the familiar AF goodies that pays respectful attention to the album’s original art as well the preservation the smart looking slipcase provides the CD.

		Ronnie Montrose’s career first took off in the early seventies as a guitarist for Van Morrison.
		Following this he teamed up with Edgar Winter before forming his own band in 1973 with Sammy Hagar (vocals), Bill Church (Bass), and Denny Carmassi (Drums).
		Although Montrose never gained ‘Mega Star’ status, they still managed to build up a large following in Europe and the US and from 73-75 they undertook numerous tours supporting established hard rock acts including Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, which enhanced their reputation as a high calibre rock and roll band.

	Van Halen Links.com - From KNAC: funny remark about Sammy & Montrose (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		In 1973, session guitarist and former Edgar Winter Group-member Ronnie Montrose put together a band in the mold of the Jeff Beck Group (first edition with Rod Stewart) and in particular, Led Zeppelin.
		It is my belief that if Alex had any other last name other than Van Halen, that he and Mikey would have followed Dave in 1985, just as Denny Carmassi and Bill Church followed Sammy when Montrose broke up in 1976.
		Before Fair Warning, Eddie was thinking of going Solo, everyone in the band stuck by his side and begged him to stay and keep the band together.

		With Jim Alcivar on synthesizer and Denny Carmassi on drums, you have a goodly portion of the band Montrose, since the guitarist/producer is the guiding hand behind this project.

		The year before they had struck a chord with their excellent debut album, garnering support among the press and fans for a set of tunes deemed to capture the best of melodic rock coupled with quirky modern aspects.
		This time around Ronnie has added some beef to the backline with former Montrose bandmate Denny Carmassi joining the fray, while Glenn Letsch takes over bass duties from the soon to become Nightranger man Alan Fitzgerald.
		It's true to suggest the Gamma 2 is slightly harder in sound than it's predecessor, but it doesn't lose anything in comparison.

		But as he doesn’t play the drums and the guitar, he got help in both departments.
		Nobody else than Denny Carmassi (Heart, Whitesnake, Foreigner, Montrose) played the drums, while guitar duties were divided between Rocket Ritchotte (David Lee Roth, Stan Bush, Cher, Rick Springfield), Scott McKinstry (from Lou Gramm’s band) and the legendary Ronnie Montrose.
		The result is a very good record: solid melodic rocksongs, outstanding musicians (a lot of friends like Ronnie Montrose, Denny Carmassi, Ricky Phillips and Rocket Richotte helping out on this one) and a great production !
