He's got two albums, one with Tris Imboden and a bunch of guys (including Pankow and Loughnane), one with Chris Pinnick and, mm, someone. I think I'll get the former; I think they're both instrumental. Pinnick was the second Kath replacement; lightning-fast and very clean style.
Current bass/lead singer is Jason Scheff, very nice guy, talented bass player. Just wish they'd get off the ballads and do some ROCK.
I found the album you mentioned here. Is that it? Is it the new guys (Champlin, Howland, etc.), or does it go back to Kath days, or both?

Yes that's the album I was talking about. (I wasn't aware it was for sale anywhere yet.) It's today's band, but Howland gets down!
If you have a dvd player, I'd really think about getting the DVD, so you can watch them too.
If that link doesn't work, just search for "Chicago Live Soundstage". My girlfriend is a Chicago nut - this DVD made her really happy. I had to pay $61 bucks, but it was an original, and still cheaper than giving 100 bucks to to the pinko's at PBS.
Someone on Ebay has one for sale almost every week. I've seen them go as low as $30, and as high as $90.
If you like Chicago, I think you'll really like this one.
