Album Description

This CD has both the 2nd and 3rd LPs together on 1 CD. Originally released by CBS in '72 & '74, respectively. The rockin' brass band, compared to Chicago, featured the trumpeter extraordinaire Bill Chase. 75 minutes long, this CD contains all 18 of the two album's original tracks, including 'Swanee River', 'So Many People', 'Weird Song #1' and 'Close Up Tight'.

Customer Reviews:

CHASE is back!.......2007-07-13

I still have my Chase vinyl LPs ("record album.") They hit the music world like a tornado of brass and jazz/rock pulling in everyone they came close to. I was in the retail end of the record biz then (1972,73) and we could not keep them in stock. This two album CD introduces their big, brassy, jazz and rock to a whole new generation and allows long-time fans to love them all over again.

Not every cut is flawless, but when they are good, Chase is as good as this sound ever was--right up there with Chicago! There are more than enough brilliant bits to make this well worth the investment in this "twofer." Crank the volume up to ELEVEN and buckle your seat belt!

P.S. Unfortunately Chase's run was too early ended. Bill Chase and four other members of the band were killed in a small plane crash in 1974 on their way--through terrible weather--to a concert. But through this CD release, their artistry lives on!

If you're a big trumpet fan..........2003-05-17

this might be a good CD to have. The brass is fantastic. Unfortunately, you have to get past the lousy vocals and the plodding 1970s jazz-rock arrangements. The self-titled debut album by this group is far superior. If you have that one and need more, check this one out.

Exciting and unduplicated.......2003-04-25

Chase's final two LPs before the group leader's (and the group's) untimely demise in a plane crash, this CD shows the direction the band was heading toward. The Mythology theme of Ennea is as hokey today as it was in 1974. But the orchestrations and playing are a true testament to the fine talent this band had. I defy anyone to listen to this CD and not replay certain passages before you make it all the way through. THIS BAND HAD ENERGY IN SPADES. The other good news is that this release fares much better sonically than the CD of their first LP. The sound is much fuller...probably because the CD of the first LP comes from a quad master mixdown (apparently the original two track LP master cannot be located). This CD is a must for anyone who loves jazz/rock fusion!

Technically very strong but.............2002-11-23

Let's face it this band had chops!!! The horn players executed acrobatics only dreamt of by the other horn bands of the tiem. Featuring four trumpets as opposed to the more traditional varied ensemble, this band was a brass fancier's delight. They played TIGHT. They played difficult unison passages and they played them well. In Bill Chase and Jay Sollenberger they had some high note specialist that could shred the air with hose notes. About half this recording was really good. Such pieces as "Weird Song #1", "Bochawa", "Close Up Tight" and "Twinkles" shows the band and their best. Now, mind you, this band is very loose. The rhythm section was tight too. The pace furious. All the pieces I mentioned are from the "Pure Music" half of this two-fer.

The rest of the recording feature less than spectacular results although the playing is always first rate. The horn section always in top form. It's the material that is largely the problem in some instances. This band needed to select their material much more carefully. "Twinkles" is the one piece that really showed that this band could've loosened up a bit and improvised much more. It's a ballad where Bill Chase stretches out and it also features a nice melodic bass solo.

"Close Up Tight" is very jazz based and features some nice soloing and ensemble passages. "Weird Song #1" leans heavily on a jazz aesthetic while embracing fusion fully. It's interesting because it lives up to it's name, It's just a weird song, man. Refreshingly so.

If the "Ennea" half of this twofer had been better I would've given this more stars.

2 PREVIOUSLY HARD TO FIND CHASE ALBUMS ON 1 DISC!.......2002-01-17

It's all been said by the others who reviewed these two albums but I wanted to stress the fact that these two Chase albums are mandatory listening for trumpet and brass players. If you want to really experience genuine dizzying excitement, then you have found it in "Ennea." "Swanee River" is an eerie sequel to the last track on Chase's 1st album, and "Woman of the Dark" is one of my all-time favorite tunes- certainly worth the price of admission, in my opinion. While I admit the whole Ennea album concept can appear "contrived" and "corny" at times, the music is simply fantastic and the whirlwind of trumpet licks will amaze you. Both albums were previously unavailable anywhere except in second hand record stores on vinyl. I still have my original LP of "Ennea." "Pure Music" was even more difficult to locate. For the price of BOTH albums you simply cannot go wrong! The music of Chase is simply essential for trumpet players and at this rock-bottom price you have the opportunity to place a magnificent piece of jazz/rock fusion history on your shelf.

Better Than Most Smooth Jazz Out There.......2006-04-25

I have had this for about ten years. The songs are listed above, so I do not need to list them. Sam Levine is great sax player and arranger. I rate this CD 4.5 stars, and I am rather picky. This CD is way better than most smooth jazz being produced today.

VINCE GILL COMES ON BOARD.......2005-10-01

PPL's first release with a very young Vince Gill showcases his vocal prowess. While a valiant effort was made to retain some of the classic prairie sound, it was very obvious that the band was moving to a slicker more radio friendly sound starting with this album. Actually Pure Prairie League had become stale without Craig Fuller and was overdue for a fresh invigoration. To some degree Can't Hold Back is that breath of fresh air however it contains a few too many forgettable fillers to rank much higher than a 3 star.
The next two PPL releases with Vince further developed the new sound and contain stronger songs. And the guys were rewarded with 3 hits too.

Album Description

With all the talk of bad things happening in the world today, finally, there is "Good Breaking News". "Spoken Word" is taking the world by storm allowing people to hear what God has to say. As we come to the "Crossroads" of life, we need inspiration, encouragement and enlightenment from God's Word! We need "Praises" that are "Without Walls"; Praises that will allow our lives to be "Resuscitated" and "Dedicated" to Jesus Christ. No longer must we live in the "Dark Rooms", but we must come out into the "Light", live our dreams and be among "God's Blossoms".

Because of God's "Mercy and Grace", we can now "Arise!" to the dawning of a new day in the Lord! It is "Anita's Prayer" that all will be "Born Again", giving God all the glory and honor He so deserves! Because we are heirs to the King's throne, we are no longer considered the tail or the "Middle Child", but the head! He has a "Personal" interest in us! When people ask you, "Where is Your Faith?" let them know that your faith is in Christ Jesus who is the "Great Poet" of your soul. He will "Reprise" your soul and renew your spirit as you advance your praises "Without Walls!"

This projects Musical Maestros' are Ben Miles, Morris Mingo and Altony Foote, Jr. Ben brings an anointed, rhythmic flow set to smooth, head bouncing tracks that make you want to hear more. This gifted man of GOD contributed beats that are well endowed, brilliantly orchestrated and just plain nice! Morris a melodic extraordinaire, touched with a Gift from The Lord's continues to embraces listeners with soul stirring tunes. Seasoned to worship Him with his music and to do God's works he sets a precedence for excellence. The engineering, arrangements, and mixing was done by Altony "Da Tiger" Foote, another blessed Child of God, destined to glorify Him though his gift.

Album Description

In Basel the meaning of the word 'border' has always been different with one step to the left you are already in France and if you step straight ahead you are in Germany. Therefore, it is no surprise at all the term 'border' has another significance for the Swiss rock band PURE INC., than for most of their fellows. It is individually defined and so is their music. In short: the band name does the taking - pure, straight, without any squiggles and artificial embellishments the Swiss rock band rocks on their typical manner and expresses more than most other bands do. Pure Inc. present themselves full of charm, individually, warmth and infectious rhythm and also musically versatile. Timeless, but only one step away from traditional groove mixed with modern influences and ageless vibes. With their second album " A New Day's Dawn" they prove that they have gained a lot of maturity, routine ad snappiness since their self titled debut. Pure Inc. compounded on this album all their experiences with the energy of their young age and their enthusiasm for music and indicate that they're ready for the next step in their career. A career that has always been devoted to live gigs, whether club or festival, the band feels obviously happy on stage. They are genuine, true and natural. Acting or half-hearted jam sessions don't have to be feared. The way Pure Inc. can be experienced live is just the way they are. And they demonstrate that often and with much fun. In particular in their home country Switzerland as well as in Germany the band has already gained the reputation of an excellent and convincing live band that is often booked for shows and enjoyed by the audience. Although it has been only two years since the was founded - all four of them have already gained a lot of band and stage experiences in their youth. With "A New Day's Dawn" they'll have the opportunity for that once again. The album which was produced to a large extent by the band itself and which teaches again not to define the term 'border' too strictly, stands for awakening. For awakening and the dawning of a new day, a new, hopeful and promises chapter in the world of PURE INC. Phduk.2006

Album Details
