Taro T Posted yesterday at 04:31 PM Report Posted yesterday at 04:31 PM May he RIP. Not easy to chart with a flugelhorn, yet Chuck did it. This does not feel so good. 😞 3 1 Quote

Pimlach Posted yesterday at 06:09 PM Report Posted yesterday at 06:09 PM RIP Chuck. His jazz music stunningly hit the pop charts in 1977 and got a lot of air time. It was refreshing change for me personally and it opened new doors. There was a time when my music consumption was >90% rock/pop. After hearing this record I started to listen to jazz and I used to regularly see Spyro Gyra perform live at the original Tralfamadore Cafe in Buffalo. My record collection took on a new and more diverse direction. While Chuck's jazz music may never be called influential from a pure jazz perspective, it actually was for me. Chuck's hit record took me to artists like George Benson, Chick Corea, Weather Report and jazz/rock fusion. After awhile I explored all forms of jazz going back to Charlie Parker, Miles and Coltrane, Brubeck, etc. 1 Quote

msw2112 Posted yesterday at 09:00 PM Report Posted yesterday at 09:00 PM Never knew he was from Rochester, but always liked "Feels So Good" and one or two of his other hits. My parents played his vinyl when I was growing up and they were big fans. Prayers to his family. 1 Quote

Porous Five Hole Posted 23 hours ago Report Posted 23 hours ago Proud to share my home town with him. He was a very giving guy and loved ROC. In 2000, he raised over $50,000 for St. John's Nursing Home at his 60th-birthday concert at the Eastman Theatre. He also graduated and taught at the Eastman School of Music. He was known to play local high school orchestras and bands for the fun of it. A tip of the brown felt hat to a legend. 1 Quote

Alaska John Posted 4 hours ago Report Posted 4 hours ago (edited) I heard Mangione play at the West Seneca West HS auditorium. I think he was on a personal crusade to open ears to jazz. Edited 4 hours ago by Alaska John 2 Quote

I asked my parents if they knew that Chuck was from Rochester and my Dad said, yes, and that they went to the same high school and even shared classes together! Not sure why he never mentioned that back in the day when he used to listen to that music all the time. After high school, my Dad moved to Buffalo to attend UB, and he stayed until retirement (hence me being born and raised in Buffalo)....he was also a Sabres and Bills season ticket holder before retirement to warmer climes (hence me being a huge Sabres and BIlls fan).
