Here are a few educational minutes with the legendary composer/trumpeter Chuck Mangione...as he takes an inside look at the trumpet and flugelhorn. Other musician profiles can be found on the MUSICMAKERS page at wwwStudioJams.com.
Chuck Mangione was born in Rochester, New York on November 29, 1940, so he is celebrating his 81st birthday today November 29, 2021. He is an American flugelhorn player, voice actor, trumpeter and composer. He came to prominence as a member of Art Blakey's band in the 1960s. He achieved international success in 1977 with his jazz-pop single "Feels So Good". Mangione has released more than 30 albums since 1960
Thank you for that information. I knew a lot of it, but some I didn't. LOL Chuck has the same birthday as me, but not the same year. And he was born in the same place as me and my whole family were. On my Father's *and* my Mother's side.😊 Thank you again for your awesome and informative comment.👌
I apologize, but I just realized that I *did* , in fact, know all of the information you listed. I guess I underestimated my knowledge.😂 It was still fantastic to see somebody take the time to write Mr. Mangione's bio.😀
@@frauleinmona Thanks, I think I got it from Wikipedia, but by posting the information, it saves viewers the time to search for it, if interested in learning more about the artist.
@@VILJL You bet! I *love* when people do this. It's incredibly helpful. And so kind to, as you mentioned, save viewers the time to search for the info about the artist. Even though I *did* know this information, I actually forgot all about it. LOL And it was so nice to be reminded that Chuck Mangione and me share the same birthday and the same birth place. So cool.😊🙏
@@frauleinmona Thank you very much. I have received some replies from people saying that the information I gave was from Wikipedia, as if that was a bad thing. It is almost impossible to remember so much information about an artist without going someplace for research and information, but the "haters" just sent me replies saying "Wikipedia"
Having played both trumpet and flugelhorn from 3rd to college (70s-80s), Mangione became one of my favorite musical artists. I still listen to his albums today.
Had the opportunity to see him in concert in 2000. I quit my job because they wouldn't let me have the time off for concert. Well worth it! I still play after 20 years and am proud to say my 2 children (one of which is grown) have both listened to him and brought the spirit of music into their lives. Thanks dad for throwing me his cassette tape way back in 6th grade!
Benjamin Kent that’s really awesome to hear. My father owns a transportation company that my grandfather started in the 40s, still going today even during this time. Chuck used my Dads company for his main source of transportation for him while on tour. I really think his music is being lost on culture since he stopped touring. I really liked reading your post/story.
@@Funnydego I imagine that working for him in many aspects would have been pretty relaxing. I just don't see him as an angry or mean boss... Chuck just oozes cool
I turned my oldest son onto Chuck Mangione when he was a young man. He traveled to Ft. Lauderdale in 2007 to see him, before he knew Chuck would be playing the Jacksonville Jazz Festival (yes, we went to that, too). I got to meet Chuck after his set. On a side note, my ex mother-in-law lives 5 blocks from the studio where he recorded a few of his earlier albums (Dynamic Recording in Rochester, NY).
This guy shaped my love for music. I was a young trumpeter in '77 when my mother bought me the LP. I listened to that thing so many times, learned Feels So Good in HS. Spent my life playing trumpet & teaching music. Thanks Chuck. I always hoped to meet that guy
Thank you Chuck for your great music.I was a young kid in the seventies and loved your music.It takes e back to my childhood, when times were happy and more loved.
I know I'm not the only one who hears the Forensic Files theme song music towards the end of the music played here. It takes some who ALWAYS watches that show 2 know.😌
This man would make an excellent musical teacher. He should inspire the younger generation to truly appreciate what music is supposed to be about instead of what Hollywood has manipulated the public into accepting their degenerate trash to be the new standard.
@@GenePalmiter to you and Gary Pugh, the key is WIND 🌬 practice blowing your air/wind and it’ll get a little easier. The challenge is keeping it easy as we tend to want to overpower and control the horn instead of let the air do the work
Chuck: "...and that's it". Yep. Soooo easy for Chuck to say...Soooo EASY! That's it. ME: "Yeah, right.... And surgeons say, "It's just an incision here, a suture there, and that's it"!!!
