 Topic: Are Chicago prog related or fusion etc?
Posted: December 04 2009 at 15:03 |
It's a formal reason and I think it's enough. But do you really think Chicago (at least first two albums) isn't early jazz-rock?

OK, if the JR-F experts decided that way - be it!

Cao,Seyo. They were included because of they're approved ( by JR/F team), and in their early albums they play real jazz-rock!OK, if you want , it could be named proto jazz-rock ( and they are one of the roots band of that style, or more correctly,-that segment of jazz-rock). I believe, that their later works are pure pop-rock, or even just pop.

I just saw Chicago has been added. OK, but I don't think they were full-blown jazz-rock/fusion. Crossover prog at best...

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

First BS&T, now Chicago. I'm feeling my "why not Butterfield Blues Band" itch will be in need of some serious scratching 
|

Can you tell me where we're headin'?
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon.

yepper... but those kind of additions are the ones you sort of live for....... you know lots of people will be looking at it. The challenge is to do a bio that answers the question some will have...
'If you leave me now.. you take away the biggest part of me!!'
hhahaha....anyway...give me a few days and hopefully I'll come up with something good.

^ Thanks a lot Michael, that's going to be a bit of work indeed. I'm still working on getting all the essential 70s fusion innovators in our JR/F section, and getting reviews for their albums written as well. Soon to be added are Bennie Maupin and Julian Priester, and we are discussing Don Ellis too.
P.S. those of you looking for proggy Chicago, start with I, what a great album!

so what do you rekon their best albums are I'm really interested in exploring them further only got their greatist hits, it don't like their 80s hits too much, they all kind of sound the same to me

I think there is a pretty good consensus that for PA members the best place to start with Chicago would be within the first 5 to 7 albums. I was listening to their debut Chicago Transit Authority the other day for the first time in quite awhile and it is quite good. It has a few of their best hits on it, but also some hidden gems as well. |
Thanks, I'll get some, as soon as I've got the essential Supertramp albums

Mandy: I think you just mentioned the reasons for the comparisons yourself.

Chicago and BS&T... Always a comparison... I do not understand... However, these two bands are a good use of wind instruments and in general play a similar music.

Seeing the CTA was released a looooong time ago, it was without doubt progressive for the time. Meaning that apart from BS&T and possibly The Flock at the same time, NOBODY had done anything like that. What can be more progressive in the sense of the word?
As for writing up the bio, I'd offer, but as I'd have to listen to their later output, I can't bring myself to do it. Meaning it's 'orrible. Really, really awful.
