The song is "Get it On", written and arranged by Bill Chase
(ne' Bill Chiese), originally of Boston. The band was "Chase",
an unusual band because the horn section consisted of four
trumpets.  The band had three albums: "Chase", "Ennea", and "Pure Music".
Bill Chase, organist Wally Yohn, and two other band members died
in a plane crash.

Before forming the rock band, Chase was well known to big band
fans as a "screech" style lead trumpet player with the likes
of Woody Herman and Maynard Ferguson (another screech player).
