Chicago - Night and Day

"Night and Day: Big-Band" is an album by the American band Chicago, their twenty-second album overall, released in 1995. It marked the band's abandonment of Top 40 material for a more thematic project, the focus here being classic big band and swing music. Landing noted producer Bruce Fairbairn to helm the project, Chicago recorded Night & Day Big Band in late 1994/early 1995 and released it that May. Although Bruce Gaitsch played guitar on the sessions, the guitar slot would eventually be filled that year by Keith Howland, who remains Chicago's present guitarist. As a side note, Joe Perry of Aerosmith was brought in to add a solo to "Blues in the Night."
