    Wikipedia:"
    Charles Frank Mangione
    (born November 29, 1940) is an American
    flugelhorn
    player, trumpeter and composer.
    He was a member of
    Art Blakey
    's band and co-led the Jazz Brothers with his brother,
    Gap
    . He achieved international success in 1977 with his jazz-pop single "
    Feels So Good
    ". Mangione has released more than 30 albums since 1960.
    Mangione was born and raised in
    Rochester
    , New York, with his pianist brother
    Gap
    . Their uncle
    Jerre Mangione
    (March 20, 1909 – August 16, 1998) was an American writer and scholar of the Italian-American experience. Together the brothers led the Mangione Brothers Sextet/Quintet, which recorded three albums for
    Riverside Records
    before Mangione branched out into other work. He attended the
    Eastman School of Music
    from 1958 to 1963, then joined
    Art Blakey
    's Jazz Messengers, for which he filled the trumpet chair previously held by
    Clifford Brown
    ,
    Freddie Hubbard
    ,
    Kenny Dorham
    ,
    Bill Hardman
    , and
    Lee Morgan
    .
    In the late 1960s, Mangione was a member of the band The National Gallery, which in 1968 released the album
    Performing Musical Interpretations of the Paintings of
    Paul Klee
    Mangione served as director of the Eastman jazz ensemble from 1968 to 1972. In 1970, he returned to recording with the album
    Friends and Love
    , recorded in concert with the
    Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra
    and guest performers.
    Mangione's quartet with saxophonist
    Gerry Niewood
    was a popular concert and recording act throughout the 1970s.
    "Bellavia", recorded during this collaboration, won Mangione his first
    Grammy Award
    in
    1977
    in the category
    Best Instrumental Composition
    .
    Mangione's composition "Chase the Clouds Away" was used at the
    1976 Summer Olympics
    in
    Montreal
    , Quebec. His composition "
    Give It All You Got
    " was the theme to the
    1980 Winter Olympic Games
    in
    Lake Placid
    , New York. He performed it live on a global television broadcast at the closing ceremonies. In 1978, Mangione composed the soundtrack for the film
    The Children of Sanchez
    starring
    Anthony Quinn
    . This album won him his second Grammy, in the category
    Best Pop Instrumental performance
    in
    1979
    .
    The title song's full version was almost 15 minutes long and featured a
    wind
    section theme. In 1981, Mangione composed and performed the theme for the film
    The Cannonball Run
    .
    In addition to his quartet with Niewood, Mangione had much success with his later-1970s ensemble, with Chris Vadala on saxophones and flutes,
    Grant Geissman
    on guitars, Charles Meeks on bass guitar, and James Bradley Jr. on drums. This version of Mangione's band recorded and toured behind the hit studio albums
    Feels So Good
    and
    Fun and Games
    and the
    Children of Sanchez
    soundtrack. Some band members participated in the "Tarantella" benefit concert in 1980.
    The band was also featured with a 70-piece orchestra on the live album
    An Evening of Magic
    , which was recorded at the Hollywood Bowl on July 16, 1978, at the height of Mangione's success from "Feels So Good". Performances of material new and old included versions of "Main Squeeze", "Hill Where the Lord Hides", and "Chase the Clouds Away". Mangione opened and closed the show with "Feels So Good" and its "Reprise" version. "B' Bye" featured a string arrangement from Bill Reichenbach. The horns were arranged by frequent collaborator
    Jeff Tyzik
    , who also played trumpet in the horn section that night. Mangione played material from the just-released "Children of Sanchez" soundtrack album, which made its West Coast concert debut.
    The liner notes from the album describe the frenzy in which the performance was put together. Unable to set up on stage the day before (The Los Angeles Philharmonic played the "1812 Overture" on July 15), Mangione and his crew had only the day of show to set up lights, sound and recording gear. He had only nine hours the day before to rehearse at A&M studios with the orchestra's musicians and was never able to run through the entire set list once in its entirety. He and the band stayed at a hotel up the street from the Bowl to make sure they wouldn't miss the performance due to snarled traffic pouring in as showtime neared. Nevertheless, the show went off without a hitch.
    In December 1980, Mangione held a benefit concert in the Americana Hotel Ballroom in Rochester to benefit the victims of an earthquake in Italy. The nine-hour concert included jazz luminaries such as Chick Corea, Steve Gadd and Dizzy Gillespie, among a host of other session and concert greats. Soon thereafter, A&M released "Tarantella," named for the Italian traditional dance, a vinyl album of some of the concert's exceptional moments, which has not yet been released as a CD.
    A 1980 issue of
    Current Biography
    called "Feels So Good" the most recognized tune since "
    Michelle
    " by
    The Beatles
    . He raised over ,000 for St. John's Nursing Home at his 60th Birthday Bash Concert at the
    Eastman Theatre
    and played a few bars of "Feels So Good".
    In 1997, Chuck did a session with
    Les Paul
    . Mangione is told of how he beat out Les for Album of the Year."
