i want you to recomend me some bands that are sort of like the early Chicago, from CTA towards the X album, (not bands like BST or EWF) but more obscure bands, does not have to be brass ether but bands that is similar to Chicago in sound, ambition and style

I don't exactly remember what they sound like, but what about Dream? If I remember correctly, it featured Billy Cobham and the Brecker Brothers. I think they played a style of brass-rock like Chicago, leaning towards jazz (like CTA).

How about Jack Bruce - "Songs for a Tailor"? Does that count?

At the the time Chicago's name was still Chicago Transit Authority, so the two bands sounded more like places to seek union employment, not rock bands.
