It's a sad story. Chase put out 2 great albums and then they all died in a plane crash.

[@jamesrobbison]

Sad story: In 1974, while en route to a scheduled performance at the Jackson County Fair in Minnesota, Bill Chase died at the age of 39 in the plane crash of a chartered twin-engine Piper Twin Comanche in Jackson, Minnesota (per Wikipedia). RIP brutha Chase!

Hadn't heard of these guys. Sounds like Blood Sweat and Tears. It takes a lot of talent.

Chase was a big thing to brass musicians in the 70s. The trumpet ranges were beastly - but fun to cover. If you ever watched these guys in concert - there was no rest - every song was a work out - and the Leader Bill Chase never laid back - he played every bar!

[@gordonschenck1672]

I remember Chase. We played Chase sings in Marching Band. He died in a plane crash not too far from my home. Years later, discovered anime and Cowboy Bebop. Tank is so much like this song.

This August will mark the 50th sad anniversary of the plane crash death of Bill and some his bandmates in southern Minnesota. Still listening in awe to his music. He was the man with the skills. Gone but not forgotten.

Damn! I am seriously happy to see someone reacting to Chase! Been bringing 'em up for several years, as they were an unusual fusion of jazz and rock & roll that kicked butt!

[@impalaman9707]

They may have been late to the brass party, but they had a chance to beat Chicago and BST at their own game, based on the sheer veteran talent and experience of Bill Chase alone (they already had Chicago beat by one extra horn!). Sadly, they were taken from us much too soon!

[@johnbember3425]

Highly recommend the song Woman Of The Dark off their second album. New lead vocal just kills it on this song.

Spent a whole night with Bill Chase getting drunk (me) .He was playing at the Colonial Tavern in Toronto. He chose my table between sets to relax and catch his breath .What a night, at least the parts i remember.

This is off of the first album named "Chase," which was the name of the band as well as the band leader. Bill Chase had performed for some very big acts (Maynard Ferguson and Stan Kenton). But what I remembered the most was that this great album was one of the few albums released in quadraphonic sound. That meant there were four distinct channels instead of the two channels that stereo offered.

[@marybaillie8907]

Oh yes. This was such a mammoth hit. They were nominated for Best New Artist Grammy award only to be edged out by Carly Simon. Sadly many in the group died in a plane crash.

Masterpiece Harri .

[@dancarroll2798]

So far ahead of their time with music that will never be duplicated. Turn uour friends onto them.

[@stanleynykaza9042]

Remember seeing this song preformed live on TV back in the 70s ,and talking about it the next day in band class ! just blew me away !! what great HORNS

[@brockmiles6597]

Man, I remember playing this the first time. Great memories.

[@glennc8991]

The first time I heard this album it was on a quad stereo and it was powerful

[@jimwilcox2964]

Saw them in 73 or 74 when we were playing 2 of their charts in high school jazz band when we had a schreech trumpet player that could hit that stuff. Did this one and "Livin in Heat"

[@msmeyersmd8]

I love to watch your reactions and hear your analysis. I was a 12 year old Trumpet player when this song came out. Listening to and playing this music didn't affect the loss of my virginity, unfortunately. Damn. I still love it.

[@C_103]

Was wondering if Chase would ever pop up in these reaction videos. Chase fits the "who did musicians listen to?" category....which usually wasn't very popular. Every horn player I worked with over the years had this in common, "Chase", "Blood Sweat & Tears", "Chicago" , "Tower of Power", and my favorite "The Brecker Brothers " (especially the tune Some Skunk Funk from the Heavy Metal Be-Bop album) in their repertoire of listening and learning. Guess we can throw in Maynard Ferguson for our high school days. All these musicians met in university music programs which sets them apart. Thanks for your reaction to Chase my friend.
