There is the world of pure music, which involves the creative side of things, songwriting. rehearsing, and performing, and there is another world which must come into play IF you truly want people to hear your music...the Music Business. Making music and making a living from your music are not the same thing. When it comes to getting your music into the marketplace you must fasten your seat belt and get exposed to the world of music business. How does it work? From writing your song and copyrighting it to finding a good record producer, getting the job out of the studio, promoting the song, getting a record deal, signing contracts, releasing an album and marketing it, all the way to getting booked for every major gig. You need to know how it works. Did you know that the Supply of Existing Marketable Music Is Greater Than Any Demand For New and Unknown Music? You have to make people aware of your music, and You have to create the demand for it, by getting the attention of the various gatekeepers in the record business and in the media who control the access areas for exposing new music (the record labels, distributors, stores, and live venues, as well as radio, TV, and the print media). No one is sitting at home waiting for you to release your music.

The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Jazz History & Research written under the direction of Dr. Lewis Porter and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ Newark, New Jersey May 2014 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! 2 ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ©2014 Nicholas Rex ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ii iii ! ! ! ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS CLOSE UP TIGHT: THE LIFE AND MUSIC OF BILL CHASE ! Thesis Director: Lewis Porter ! ! Bill Chase is a relatively unknown figure to the general jazz public, but he has had an effect on brass musicians since his long tenure with Woody Herman. Known not only for his lead playing in big bands, Chase is also known for his writing and arranging for the Herman band and his own group. His jazz-rock band which scored a Billboard Top 40 Hit with “Get It On” in 1971. This thesis will explore his life primarily through his recording and through interviews with the musicians and management surrounding his short, but fruitful career. ! ! ! ! ! iii iii Acknowledgments I’d like to thank my friends and family from past and present for helping and supporting me through my life to get me to the point where I am now. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without you. I’d like to thank my professors Dr. Martin and Dr. Porter, who opened my mind to a variety of new ways at looking at jazz music, and dispelling some of the myths I had from reading other jazz critics.
