![]() Work on a fourth LP was in the works and during 1974, Chase had been performing a melodic flugelhorn piece called "Ode To A New England Jellyfish" written by Bill this tune was recorded during the summer of 1974 and was only missing Bill's solo section. Live versions of "Bochawa" and "Close Up Tight" were forever being altered on the road. ![]() Jim Peterik had co-written two vocal numbers for the album and to be performed live, "Run Back To Mama" and "Love Is On The Way" a third vocal version of the song "Pure Music" was scrapped from the LP because it did not sound enough like Chase. ![]() The overall effect had a more "commercial" appeal and was highly popular among high school and college band students. Though much of the music released on the album had been performed by the band over a span of a year and half, the new musical direction was a departure from vocal dominated songs and focusing more on jazz/rock instrumental tunes to showcase Bill's dynamic playing style. The failure to sell the Ennea LP on a mass market forced Bill Chase to re-group several times and come up with a new musical approach the result was Pure Music. Pure Music was the third and final album by jazz-rock fusion band Chase. October–December 1973, Universal Recording Studios, Chicago, Illinois
