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."
