Description: This is Big Chief - funky, soulful, dextrous, foot stomping, shoulder rolling jazz-blues. This is feel good Saturday night music that rocks, that cajoles, that inspires, that looks neither backwards or forwards but just lights up the night sky with a great big smile.

After some forty years, Big Chief no longer continue to perform live. This is not to say that you can't see or hear them play..!
Indeed, on occasions, you can still witness the awesome power of the Big Chief sound at a number of venues across North London and Hertfordshire, only in a smaller guise and renamed Home Cookin '. Band leader John Fry with help from Big Chief members old and new, has also put together a new album Aberaeron Skies .
It would however be wrong to dismiss Big Chief and their work, and so the following sleeve note by Jeff Cloves to Big Chief’s first album ‘ It Don’t Make Sense ’ is a good introduction to the band and remains relevant (to the Band's output) today.
