Another great one gone. I was introduced to his music by a friend in college. His smooth style was great for relaxing after getting home from a stressful shift. Happily I have a couple of his CDs. I hope he realized how much joy and peace he brought to his fans. May He Rest In Peace.

For old times.


I liked to think St. Peter is welcoming Chuck to heaven with his music playing in the background and his foot is tapping to the rhythm.

I was never a fan of that type of music, but the man had talent. I can only hope for 84 years.
That's 4 in a week; dang. RIP, Chuck

I was a trumpet player in college. Mangione's Feels So Good was probably the only trumpet song most people knew, so of course I had to learn it. It's really simple to play, but it always impressed anyone listening.

Don't ask me to play it now; I haven't touched a trumpet in many years.

"Hill Where the Lord Hides" is a masterpiece. He is already missed.

(I would have thought Kieth would have escaped before Charlie Watts.)
RIP Chuck Mangione

Back when my sons were 4 and 5 (1999), we went to the House of Guitars in Rochester for a meet and greet with Mangione. We got our kids new kazoos and Chuck asked if they would like join him in a song. He led them in a memorable instrumental rendition of "I've Been Working On The Railroad". It was a very special moment. He was a gifted, kindhearted and unassuming man. May he RIP.

I was just reading his NYT obit.

...Mr. Mangione's father soon began taking his sons to the nearby Ridgecrest Inn, where jazz luminaries like Miles Davis, Art Blakey and Dizzy Gillespie played regularly. "My father would walk up to someone like Dizzy and say: 'Hi, Mr. Gillespie. These are my two sons and they can play.' And we would sit in," Mr. Mangione recalled in a 1999 interview with JazzTimes magazine.

"Then," he continued, "my dad would invite everyone to our house for spaghetti and homemade wine. Dad had a grocery store attached to the house, and Mother loved to cook, so we could have a party in a minute. This week it would be Dizzy, the next week Carmen McRae, then Sarah Vaughan, Art Blakey, Kai Winding."..​
