Although overshadowed by the success of "Kind of Blue," In Chicago showcases these two legendary musicians, indeed the whole band, in top hard bop form and on the threshold of making modal jazz history. Celebrating Cannonball and Coltrane’s collaborative competition are two of their most inspired, modern equivalents—alto saxophonist Vincent Herring and tenor saxophonist Eric Alexander—as well as a stellar rhythm section that includes pianist Mike LeDonne, bassist John Webber, and drummer Lewis Nash.
