The New York Jazz Quartet in Chicago is an album by pianist Roland Hanna and the New York Jazz Quartet which was recorded in 1981 and released on the Bee Hive label.

AllMusic Review by Scott Yanow:
The New York Jazz Quartet gave pianist Roland Hanna, Frank Wess (doubling on tenor and flute), bassist George Mraz and drummer Ben Riley an opportunity to collaborate and, although the group did not develop any innovations, it did record several excellent albums. This Bee Hive album is one of their more extroverted affairs with particularly fine playing on Wess’s “Four the Hard Way,” Thad Jones’s “H and T Blues” and the ballad “You Don’t Know What Love Is.” (https://goo.gl/nnXWYX).
