130R Chicago part 1

Published September 15, 2024 | By Alan DJ

A selection of tracks from the celebrated jazz-rock-pop band Chicago, going up to the eleventh studio album just before the death of Terry Kath. I’m a big fan of early Chicago, no surprise as I’m a jazz fan from way back, and I had a lot of input to this show – the second show is mostly Hugh. 23 listeners peak, a good number, for which we thank you.

Since I talked a lot about the covers, I’ve linked images of them to the album names. The ones we missed out are Chicago at Carnegie Hall, which is number 4 in the sequence (White Tile), and Chicago IX – Chicago’s Greatest Hits (Painted Billboard)
