Welcome Mr. Chancey (1993)

Hoorn: een in de jazz zeldzaam voorkomend instrument. Chancey is een meester op het instrument en bewijst dat hoorn ook aan swingende een bijzonder element kan toevoegen. In november 2011 was hij op tournee met de speciale jubileumgroep rond Ab Baars' trio en alszodanig in het Vestzaktheater te zien op uitnodiging van JazzPodium Drienerlo. "As a first-call ensemble player, Chancey has had the French horn to depend on for a number of years, and his credits as a sideman are long and impressive. For this date as a leader, he's chosen electric guitarist David Gilmore, electric bass guitarist Kevin Bruce Harris, and drummer Ronnie Burrage to back him. They are all good players, but the recording has only a modicum of swing, mostly relying on lighter R&B rhythms. Chancey's improvisational skills are quite impressive, and as a writer of five of the six cuts, he chose to pen simplistic melodies that seem a snap to break off of and go into jamming." (Michael G. Nastos, Allmusic)
