Chase – Pure Music (1974) is the band’s third and final studio album—a bold jazz‑rock fusion statement showcasing Bill Chase’s blistering trumpet work and a clear shift from vocal-led tracks to richly instrumental compositions.

Closing the gap between rock and jazz, the album leans heavily on dynamic instrumental pieces like 'Weird Song #1,' 'Twinkles', 'Bochawa', and 'Close Up Tight'. These tracks spotlight guitar and synthesizer interplay, offering a complex and fiery sound that was a departure from the horn-driven rock of their earlier records.

Owning the Japanese pressing of Pure Music is more than just having a copy of a classic jazz-rock fusion album—it's holding a piece of audio artistry that reflects Japan's unmatched dedication to sonic and packaging quality.
