Chuck's brother Gap did an arrangement for our city's high-school band, of some of Chuck's top hits, because he was good friends with the band director. They performed it as their field show medley. They won competition after competition with it. I went to one because my sister was in the trumpet section. I started to cry. The lady ahead of me asked me what was wrong. I said nothing I am just so proud of my big sister right now. She said you should be. They are amazing! I think the arrangement really inspired them. It was many years ago but I have never forgotten it!
Great story! I played the solo fluegelhorn in my high school marching band and man what memories. I’m replying to your post because when I was in college I played piano in our jazz band and Gap M. came in and did a clinic with us. He was an awesome guy and obviously a great musician, and I learned a lot from his teaching. So I connected with your HS band story as well as Gap, although in 2 different times. I loved Chuck’s music back in the late 70’s and when I hear it now it brings back great memories. I saw him live at least 4 times every time he came our way.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful story. It reminds me of the marching band I was in during high school and the excitement and friendships that were forged over the music itself, as in your sister's case: an exciting medley of music that captivated performers and audiences alike. As your story attests, it makes for lifelong memories that can bring you back to the moment. 🎶
Chuck had such a great band - Vadala, Meeks, Giesman, Bradley, and Chuck's playing was never better. And to have the tonight show band backing him was icing on the cake. And I'm pretty sure that is Jeff Tyzik in the Tonight Show band horn section - another Eastman grad.
Yes, I think you're spot on -- Tyzik (in the afro) is seated second from right in the trumpet section. As I understand, Jeff Tyzik (an awesome composer and instrumentalist in his own right) composed or arranged a number of pieces for Chuck Mangione. The talent collected on stage here is nothing short of amazing.
@@turbo7757 Absolutely! I was at Chuck's first concert, Friends and Love, with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra, a bunch of phenomenal guest musicians, and of course, Steve Gadd, playing drums. And all 3 LaBarbera brothers were great, great musicians.
That is real guitar playing! Have any of you heard George Benson on Creed Taylor International Records waaay befor Breezin and his vocal pop career... He taught me so much! Joe Pass's octaves and so many other players who influenced his playing came to me as well... I hope I can pass a tidbit or two to young guitarists before I pass to the great band in the sky
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
I'm only 28, going to be 29 soon. And I must say that music, back when it was just music and no words, was and still is phenomenal. Such an amazing guy. I didn't know that he was a real artist with such amazing music. It feels so good.
Young people drop the WOK and become AWAKE to the world as it is...the music was not computerized but real emotion from the HEART and SOUL or REAL PEOPLE!
For those who have not heard the original recording of this song featuring the clarion voice of Esther Satterfield, you will thank me for suggesting it. The song is true magic!
The two French Horns really add so much elegance to this little band! I started playing French Horn and then switched to flugelhorn because of Feels So Good and Chuck!
You mean this little Tonight Show Band ? Listen to some of their recordings . Some of the best trumpet players who ever lived played in this band and then there was a guy named Doc who played trumpet too and led the band.
Met Chuck when I was 13. Maintain a relationship over the years. All the guys in the band were wonderful . Johnny really liked his music. Hope he is enjoying his retirement. Great guy.
Such nostalgia. I told my son about Chuck and now he's a fan too. I remember listening to Chuck when I was in high school in the late 70's. His music was popular in the drum & bugle corps scene back in the day too. What a legacy. A true musician. Thanks Chuck!
@DennisJohnsonDrummer I have replied a few times with you. I, like you, am a snare drummer. Marched DCA late 80s in Pittsburgh, and I know you were in TFs line at SOA. I will say it again, you had a gift. And yes, I remember him hosting as well.
@@GDS1981 Was it Rita Moreno who co-hosted with Chuck? I seem to remember that. I was actually at the Miami show that year. Drove down to the stadium with a band director friend who was my mentor. He drove a huge white Cadillac. Shades of Miami Vice. Ha!
My introduction to Chuck Mangione was freshman year HS marching band we did an arrangement of this song. A lot of our band members were also in Corps. I remember learning of DCI and watching it on PBS back in the 80s. I remember CM being at the finals one of those years. Glad to read that they did a tribute to him. Thanks for that info.
I saw Chuck and the crew at Berkeley in Boston in the 80s. Poor college kid sprung for a ticket. Such a fabulous performance. Chris and Grant were there. Chris played about zillion instruments. Chuck was unabashed in his enthusiasm. Never will forget it. It was soul stirring!
I remember watching this on TV as a kid. Carson actually asked about the extra chairs during his monologue and I remember Doc saying there were going to be French Horns coming out. I told my father that Chuck must be playing LOMB since French Horns figure so prominently in that song. My dad was impressed I got that right!
All these years later, seeing Chuck, his band mates, and a nineteen piece orchestra at Red Rocks, (1982?) is the best concert I've ever seen! He did two shows, I was at the sunrise show. Magnificent!
I used to go see him and his brother, Gap, at the Rose Inn, in Rochester NY. Chuck would just pop in and play a few with his brother, then have a drink. Both true craftsmen!
Did not know this. Very sad....to hear. I was at a high school jazz festival at a small MN college in the early 2000's and they always hired 2 professional jazz artists to headline at the evening concerts. That year it was Chris and Allan Vizzutti. Now, I knew of Chris' playing with Mangione and Vizzutti's reputation in the trumpet world is legendary. At this festival the tradition was that the "lesser" of the two artists would come out first and take a few tunes with the college big band that hosted the event, and then the big gun would come out second to conclude the night. Imagine my surprise when Vizzutti came out first!!! I thought "maybe Vadala is sick". Nope; he was the "big gun" that came out second. Blew me away. Had NO idea he had chops like that. Anyone that out-places Vizzutti is truly a monster player.
How IRONIC! .II was AT that Hollywood Bowl concert.. gave the record to my folks .. also a few other gigs .. met guitarist Grant .. his brother, Gap .. Annnnd PAPA Mangione .. just never Chuck. 🙄 I ALSO happened to be in Johnny's audience on his FINAL show .. I'd just never seen THIS until NOW! 🤩
STUNNING. Only Chuck could make this work without Esther Satterfield on vocals! I saw that tour twice, and rate it higher than many others- including Pink Floyd(etc)!!! Thanks for posting this! It is how I will always remember Chuck...RUNNING onto the stage, jumping and conducting the orchestra with both hands, and jumping to get his palms even higher while conducting! Some of the best of times EVER!!!!!!
this was normal good music back then with real musicians. What the hell we have like this then. People with actual skills . Hear that bass, everything is pro.
I can listen to Chuck all day. Sometimes, I do. I ask Alexa to play Chuck and I get songs I haven't heard in years. I like Chuck's directing in this video.
Got an autographed CD from him after a excellent performance at Dimitriou's Jazz Alley in Seattle. The line was too long earlier, but I ran into him at the bar afterwards.
Used to pass through Poughkeepsie back in the day. I had been following Chuck since his JAZZ BROTHERS days. One of my 1st jazz albums I collected while I was serving in the Navy. Two local boys playing, Chris & Jeff, made the night special. On one pass-thru, at the Bardovon Theater, Steve Gadd replaced James Bradley Jr for the event. More magic.
Fenômeno, gênio, Divinal 🙏🙏🙏!!! Nessa apresentação ele com 39 anos de idade, atualmente tem 80 anos, Chuck Mangione é do tipo de ser humano que deveria viver 500 anos, qualidade da arte dele e eterna, sou apaixonado por esse FENÔMENO desde dos meus 11 anos de idade. Olha que já sou quase um ancião.
@@Mallens1965 he does seem pretty serious but I can see why on live TV with all those musicians and all the things that could go wrong. But man they sure pulled it off - they sounded great. His improvisation was really good on this...one of may favs of the many recordings I've heard of Land of Make Believe. Shame it is so rare today to see a large group of such talented jazz musicians perform together anywhere let alone on live TV.
Rob Mallens I also got the impression he was extra nervous on this performance. He had a couple clams right off the get go. He also does something I do when I’m nervous, he starts fiddling with his valves before entrances. When a performance is especially important you don’t want your valves to stick. And if you fiddle with them they will eventually stick.
Rob Mallens He appears very nervous. Makes a couple early clams and then starts to worry that his valves are gonna stick. I do the same thing when I’m feeling the pressure. Bad thing is when your fiddling with your valves when your worried they will start sticking.
Chuck makes playing this song look so damn easy. I've been playing trumpet for close to a decade and still find this one difficult. Thanks for posting!
Sensacional!!! Nossa que emoção!!! Penso logo no meu pai que já partiu, desde de garoto ouvindo Chucky Mangione com uma saudade louca, meu pai não foi muito presente lá atrás, hoje a emoção a mesma uma saudade louca de meu pai agora não fazer parte mais do nosso mundo!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
One thing that's cool about this video is seeing Ed Shaughnessy grooving to the tune in the background. Nice to see one musician appreciating other guys' work.

When he would introduce Chris, he would say - And on everything Chris Vadala. Saw Chuck several times. Loved the quartet that played with him - Chris, Grant, Charles and James. Great group of musicians and put on one hell of a show.
Slow melody section at the end (and on the Hollywood Bowl album) is one of the most lovely and poignant musical conversations that Chuck and Chris ever had.
I remember watching this performance with my Dad. Staying up late on a school night to watch “the band” was always allowed and extra special. Chuck is a great composer and musician. Grant just rips. Chris soars over everything. Is that Jeff Tyzik sitting next to Audino? Thanks for posting this @leatherlips.

Used to grab lunch at his parents bakery back in high school.
Amazing composer and player. Great band high energy….. Chuck made some incredible music over the years
i joined drum and bugle corps as a bugler, because of Sir Chuck Mangione, our inspiration. God Bless you sir
My Dad used to take me to "Ontario Place" back in the late 70's and watch Chuck play live. It was a great time in my life!
I saw lots of great concerts at the Ontario Place Forum!
For sure, chuck, boss brass, I think Maynard too ?
Revolving stage was awesome.

Chuck, Thank you for an amazing performance....this song is life altering.
I have to hear it when I need a catharsis. It goes straight to the heart
70's top-40 music. Hard to believe now.
This song is mind altering! Thanks Chuck, for all of your fabulous music! 💖
Chuck Mangione just may be the greatest Flügelhorn player ever 😀😀😀😀😀.
Just amazing, this tune is very hard to play! The fluglehorn is beautiful, especially with Chuck at the helm! Salute'

Brilliant performance. Grant Geissman is terrific on guitar. I believe that's Jeff Tyzik in the trumpet section (second from right at 5:16).
Yep...that is Tyzik. I can still hear him soaring on Bellavia.
Grant-my student
What model guitar is that?
also at 5:16 is recording artist Conte Candoli (here as part of the Tonight Show Band) second from left
I think Daneltro 4:34
Chuck makes playing this song look so damn easy. I've been playing trumpet for close to a decade and still find this one difficult. Thanks for posting!
Have you tried practicing the trumpet rather than just playing it ? Chuck did plenty . Play along with his albums. You can do it. ( 6 decades here )
I had your album when I was a junior in high school. The name of the school is Westinghouse High School in the Homewood section of Pittsburgh.
Simplemente grandioso Gracias chuck mangione
Beautiful. Chuck-AND sampling Jaco Pastorius's pogo dancing....Hell of a solo.
If you haven't yet! Listen to the album!
IT IS THAT GOOD!
unmatched intensity. I wore out my album.

All super talented musicians and Chuckster, composer, conductor and flugelhorn
Beautiful Chuck. Such hope and light, amazing.

Chris Vadala quotes the late great Jerry Niewood at about 4:27.
I can’t believe they’re both gone. I met both Chris and Gerry several times and they were the nicest guys. Amazing talents. So sad.

I didn't even have to see Jeff Tyzik, to know that he was there in the trumpet section. What power and clarity.
I think he's the one with tge moustache. Maestros hair is curly.
John Audino and Pete Condoli on The Tonight Show Band didn't need anyone to add power - omfg.

Big Balls Tempo,,, Timeless body of work by Mangione and Co.
Gottah love this guy and music! Time less!
Mesmerizing. Just mesmerizing.
Mangione is another kind of guy.
When you're feeling down and out
Wondering what this world's about
I know a place that has the answer.
It's a place where no one dies.
It's a land where no one cries.
And good vibrations always
Greet you.
How I love when my thoughts run
To the land of make believe.
Where everything is fun
Forever.
Children always gather around
Mother Goose and all her rhyme
They fill the air with sounds
Of laughter.
People dancing
Their hearts are filled
With all the reasons why.
You and I should learn the way
Of the land of make believe
And make this world of ours
Much brighter.
[Mangione on flugelhorn solo]
I once asked the Wizard of Oz
For the secret of his land
He said, "Just take a look around here.
Seven dwarves and Little Boy Blue,
Uncle Remus and Snow White, too.
(Now, just between us,
That's what's known as integration.)
Jack and Jill are hard at work
Helping children dream awhile,
And Snoopys making smiles
For grown-ups.
All the elves are making toys
They are rich with all the joys
Of seeing happy kids
At Christmas.
We are waiting
To help you find
The dream made just for you.
In a few words let's just say
That in answer to your quiz
Imagination is
The secret. "
[Saxophone solo]
[Orchestra fugues a while]
Hear the music of the band
It was written in our land
For what's a song but someone's
Dream?
In your world there was a King
He once said, "I have a dream,"
Now there's a man who new
The secret.
Dreams are really
The thoughts that you
Have hidden in your heart.
When you start a brand new day
Let your heart show you the way
And make a dream or two
Come true.
How I love when my thoughts run
To the land of make believe
Where everything is fun
Forever
Love you all.
Fantastic!
Land of Make Believe the Best ✨🎉🥳🥳🥳🤗🎉✨
Wonderful
Awesome piece for me!
I saw Chris Vadala play 19 instruments in one Mangione concert. Chuck named them all.
When he would introduce Chris, he would say - And on everything Chris Vadala. Saw Chuck several times. Loved the quartet that played with him - Chris, Grant, Charles and James. Great group of musicians and put on one hell of a show.
Chuck went to Eastman. I am sure he knew the names of many instruments. Yeeesh.
Excellent album
Rare stuff. Wow.
Love this tune
This is beautiful
Me gustaría q traducieran estas entrevistas d Chuck mangione al español.
The rhythm section here is 🔥
trully relaxing music
Killing it!
Love him
The late Chris Vadala on woodwinds (soprano sax) in background, he has a beast tenor sax solo in "Give it all You Got"
Aboslutely love the "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" quotes.
Wow thank chuck... Saludos México march 2019
He's a real person!!!!!! Mega Lo Mart!!!!!!!!!!!
I love Jazz it's so up beat and elevating!😂
Luigi mangione
Slow melody section at the end (and on the Hollywood Bowl album) is one of the most lovely and poignant musical conversations that Chuck and Chris ever had.
I remember watching this performance with my Dad. Staying up late on a school night to watch “the band” was always allowed and extra special. Chuck is a great composer and musician. Grant just rips. Chris soars over everything. Is that Jeff Tyzik sitting next to Audino? Thanks for posting this @leatherlips.
No one made quality instrumentals more accessible.
