Jeff Chan In Chicago (March 2021)

This album is dedicated to Ameen Muhammad who passed away on February 28, 2003. His life and his music will be remembered and celebrated.

Not long after I moved to from SF to Chicago, I recorded this album for Asian Improv Records. Presenting my original compositions, In Chicago was a chance to record with an all-star band of Tatsu Aoki (bass), Chad Taylor (drums) and the great Ameen Muhammad (trumpet).
