The Chicago Sound is the sole album led by American jazz bassist Wilbur Ware. It features a quintet with the saxophonist Johnny Griffin and was recorded in 1957 for the Riverside label.
Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars with its review by Scott Yanow claiming the album is "a fine debut by Ware. It seems strange that in his remaining 20-plus years the bassist never led another album".
