HutchFan Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks for posting these articles, Jim. They're very, very interesting. Quote
Larry Kart Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Just to be clear, the "one Allen Chase" who was in charge of the U. of Wisconsin jazz band at that time and between whom and Taylor, according to John's piece, there "was an undertone of disagreement," was not saxophonist-educator Allan Chase (formerly at NEC, now at Berklee) but trombonist-educator Allen Chase, now at the U. of W.-Beloit. A onetime close musical associate of the late Rashied Ali, Allan Chase, had he been at Madison back then, undoubtedly would have been in Taylor's corner. Further, the Allan Chase who is now at Berklee was age 14 in 1971. Quote
AllenLowe Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 I do believe the Wisconsin Chase also led a band which was named after him. No? Quote
JSngry Posted June 1, 2015 Author Report Posted June 1, 2015 Uhhh...are you thinking of Bill Chase, perhaps? Quote
Larry Kart Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 BTW, I see that the Allen Chase who was at Madison when Taylor was there was at the U of W.-Beloit before that time, and is not at Beloit now. Only further mention of him I can find is some pieces he wrote for trombone ensemble. Quote

paul secor Posted June 1, 2015 Report Posted June 1, 2015 Thanks once again, Jim! And thanks again, John! Always a pleasure to read thoughtful writing about Cecil. Quote
