小简介

世界顶级爵士小号演奏家,也是七○年代的爵士乐名家恰克·曼吉欧尼被评为当今世界最杰出的Frugal Horn演奏家,一直演奏既高雅又有魅力的旋律。

恰克出生于纽约附近的小城Rochester,家中并无任何一员從从事与音乐相关的工作,但Chuck的父亲非常喜欢爵士乐,一有爵士乐的演出,常会带着恰克两兄弟去听,之后又常邀请乐手到家吃宵夜,于是认识了不少爵士乐手,包括Dizzy Gillespie、Larmen McRae、Sarah Vaughan等,恰克受到Dizzy的影响(还称Dizzy为他的音乐之父)学习吹奏小喇叭,14岁时即受到Art Blakey的邀请加入乐团,恰克则认为在开始任何事之前,学业的完成是最重要的,不过在校期间,他和哥哥Gap也共组了The Jazz Brother乐团,但真正踏入乐坛还是他加入Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers之后,后來他陆续推出几张个人专辑,1977年的《Feels so good》专辑的成功更将他推向事业的顶峰,接下來的日子恰克一直忙于录音和演出以及教学。

Throughout the 1970s, Chuck Mangione was a celebrity. His purposely lightweight music was melodic pop that was upbeat, optimistic and sometimes uplifting. Mangiones records were big sellers yet few of his fans from the era knew that his original goal was to be a bebopper. His father had often taken Chuck and his older brother Gap (a keyboardist) out to see jazz concerts and Dizzy Gillespie was a family friend. While Chuck studied at the Eastman School, the two Mangiones co-led a bop quintet called the Jazz Brothers that recorded several albums for Jazzland, often with Sal Nistico on tenor. Chuck Mangione played with the big bands of Woody Herman and Maynard Ferguson (both in 1965) and Art Blakeys Jazz Messengers (1965-67). In 1968, now sticking mostly to his soft-toned flugelhorn, Mangione formed a quartet that also featured Gerry Niewood on tenor and soprano. They cut a fine set for Mercury in 1972 but otherwise Mangiones recordings in the 1970s generally used large orchestras and vocalists (including Esther Satterfield), putting the emphasis on lightweight melodies such as Hill Where the Lord Hides, Land of Make Believe, Chase the Clouds Away and the huge 1977 hit (featuring guitarist Grant Geissman) Feels So Good. After a recorded 1978 Hollywood Bowl concert that summed up his pop years and a 1980 two-LP set that alternated pop and bop (with guest Dizzy Gillespie), Mangione gradually faded out of the music scene. In the 1970s Chuck Mangione recorded for Mercury and A&M in the 1980s he had a couple of very forgettable Columbia albums and had not been heard from in the 90s until a 1997 comeback tour found him in good form, having a reunion with his Feels So Good band. The Feelings Back followed in 1999.
