Chase – Chase (5) – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 21days)

Released in 1971, Chase’s self-titled debut is a landmark in the jazz-rock movement, notorious for its audacious four-trumpet frontline and the virtuosic vision of bandleader Bill Chase. Rather than following the guitar-centric blueprint of most rock of its era, the album explodes with brassy power, weaving jazz sophistication into the raw drive of rock. The opening cut, “Open Up Wide,” instantly signals the group’s intent: dazzling horn arrangements, propulsive rhythms, and a relentless sense of momentum. Their hit single, “Get It On,” became an anthem for fusion enthusiasts, marrying deep grooves with a sense of theatrical adventure. What sets Chase apart is the way they harness the technical prowess of jazz without losing the visceral punch of rock, creating something both cerebral and thrilling. This album captures a fleeting moment when musical boundaries were being joyfully demolished, making it essential for vinyl collectors seeking more than nostalgia—this is a brazen experiment that still feels fresh. For fans of fusion, brass, or simply those who appreciate musicians unafraid to take risks, Chase’s debut is a bold, high-voltage experience.
