I was 17 when I met Bill Chase. It was in a bar (I didn't even ask for a soda in fear of getting caught), and Mr. Chase was amazing! Oar House in Omaha down at the Old Market. I asked sheepishly for his autograph and Bill gave it to me! I later laminated it. I asked what mouthpiece he used, he told me (I remember I was surprised, I think it was a 3c or a 5c). I didn't sleep for a week after that. But over the years I had become a great fan of Maynard Ferguson. at 69 I continue to play but with not as much gusto.

I was lucky enough to see Maynards band a couple times, Kenton's and Clark Terry, but never was able to see Chase. If they ever figure out time travel early 70's here I come!

[@Craig2760]

Those two did more for our generation to pick up a horn, trumpet, trombone or sax than anyone else since the Big Bands of the 40’s.

[@LeeFryer-kv7wh]

Truly an amazing fusion of rock and jazz trumpet sound that only Bill Chase could supply! He’s right up there with Maynard Ferguson’s range.

[@richtraube2241]

Clean articulation and stratospheric playing. The more Chase I hear the more I like.

[@stuartdorsey1362]

Great memory of this. Chase played our college homecoming concert in 1972, paired with oddly enough, Helen Reddy. My fellow students decidedly preferred Reddy--Chase was a bit too out there for most--except this last number, MacArthur Park, which brought down the house.

[@daverogers4607]

Did Bill Chase Helen? He didn't think she was Reddy, but she was Helen wheels.

How did I miss this

[@RussellDDixon]

Thank you for sharing anything CHASE !

[@arthurdaleharris]

He got better,better!

[@marcchervin8905]

As a trumpet player myself on a long time fan of Chase I don't think I've ever heard him play with a mute first of all, and I don't think I've ever heard this so Nice post man as usual always great Thank you

Chase

[@ericdurak4918]

Perhaps the tightest version of this song ever recorded (included Doc Severinsen's version).

[@paulrodberg]

Maynard

[@dlkeller4062]

Not to take anything away from Bill, but definitely Maynard. Live at Jimmy’s reigns supreme in my mind.

[@richardwalker9826]

only bill chase had the ability and the supporting players in the 1970's to create this masterpiece that is very seldom heard.

[@dgdiyer1191]

That is very debatable. Maynard's band was stocked with top notch talent in the 70's. Some might even argue that some of the players were held back so as not to overshadow Maynard. But not all the time. Here is Lynn Nicholson playing the bridge in MacArthur's Park. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fXqmY3SlYttpZ5o
