Bill Chase is still considered one of the most charismatic and talented trumpet players and band leaders of all time, over fifty years after his death. His early band “Chase” was a pioneer of the genre of music known as jazz-rock fusion. Its mix of sophisticated jazz rhythms and harmonies with driving and powerful rock vibes resonated intensely with his fans. His career was tragically cut short by his death in a plane crash on August 9, 1974. Fans still revel in the music he created, a legacy of three treasured albums. No one has ever matched the unique sound and feel of Bill Chase and his bands, and no one ever will. Legends Brass is honoring the memory of Bill Chase with this collection of trumpet mouthpieces, memorabilia, and other items.
