Chuck Mangione's Bio: For more than five decades, Chuck Mangione's love affair with music has been characterized by his boundless energy, unabashed enthusiasm, and pure joy that radiates from the stage.

Mangione first attracted attention with his brother, Gap, in a mainstream jazz band, The Jazz Brothers, in which he played trumpet much like that of the man who he refers to as his musical father-Dizzy Gillespie. In fact Dizzy gave Chuck an 'updo' horn just like his own.

Chuck's years with the Jazz Brothers overlapped with his attendin g the Eastman School of Music and eventually resulted in his solo album debut. Chuck left home to play with Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, assuming the trumpet chair that had belonged to such great players as Clifford Brown, Kenny Dorham, Bill Hardman, L ee Morgan
and Freddie Hubbard.

Another important step in Mangione's career development was his return to the Eastman School of Music as director of the school's Jazz Ensemble. His "Friends & Love" concert with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchest ra was recorded
live and featured "Hill Where the Lord Hides." This led to a recording contract with a major label, Mercury records, and his first Grammy nomination.

Chuck has recorded two albums for Chesky Records, The Feelings Back & Everythi ng For Love.

His 60th Birthday Bash Concert at the Eastman Theater in Rochester New York raised over $50,000 for St. John's Nursing Home.
