Gary Chandler, a talented trumpeter born in 1938, began his professional music journey in the vibrant Columbus, Ohio, club scene in 1960. Collaborating with legends like Hank Marr and Don Patterson, he later joined the iconic Motown Revue from 1965 to 1967. His debut album, Outlook, was produced by Bob Porter and features an all-star cast, including Idris Muhammad on drums, Gordon Edwards on bass, and Cornell Dupree on guitar.
The album is a fusion of funky, JB-influenced soul-jazz that captivates listeners with tracks like “Baby Let Me Take You (In My Arms),” which has become a favorite among crate diggers and DJs. Each track on Outlook is worthy of attention, showcasing Chandler’s exceptional talent in a genre that blends soul, jazz, and funk seamlessly. This vinyl release, originally from 1972, is a must-have for collectors of rare jazz records.
