I first saw Chuck in a concert at Oswego (NY) State University on a bitter winter day in 1972. He bussed the whole orchestra from Rochester in a snowstorm. They did the "Together" concert. That's when I first heard this and "Sixty Miles Young". I met Chuck later that year at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy NY later that year. When I spoke with him again a couple years ago, he remembered Oswego. Today is my 60th birthday. Thank you, Chuck, for giving me 60 Years Young! Say hi to Gap.
Heard him in concert in Dallas in the 70's - and he played this piece. He is a genius. Such musicianship! Hearing this still gives me chills. Wonder if this album in on CD? Yes, thanks for posting!
Chuck and Gap were both extraordinary musicians. Chuck played the fluegelhorn, not the trumpet, actually. Another part of the performance was an incredible vocal by Ester Satterfield, called "Look to the Children". It wasn't included in the album because it was clearly another performer's work and was a vocal, not instrumental, but it was extraordinary nonetheless.
man oh man, here gerry niewood on the soprano sax?? God rest his soul, what players at this concert, steve gadd, vinny dimartino, eastman has not nor never will be the same
@rdangelo Sir, sir, sir haha. I know the record player is fast, sorry. At the time, my record player was very old. I've updated... I know I should re-release the vinyl version of this again but it seems that people still enjoy it. I'm sorry, best regards!
Nope. If you read the notes on his first album, you'll see that the recording was made live ( I was there), at Eastman Theatre, and the Orchestra was the Rochester Philharmonic.
I was 17, lived in Fairport, NY and had been playing in garage bands since Jr High when they bused a bunch of us from our high school to Rochester for a special afternoon rehersal for this concert ... it was the most AMAZING thing I had ever heard in my life ! .. this song brings back so many great memories, just realy good, great stuff !! ... thanks for posting!
Got a chance to listen again. Wow! Is this ever great. Another part of that concert in 1970 that was memorable, in addition to Bat McGrath and Don Potter, was Ester Satterfield's song "Look to the Children". An incredible concert.
I played this show with Chuck and all the original guys a few years ago. We did 3 performances and all of them were totally unforgettable for everyone on stage and in the audience.
It's pretty sad that 2 of the members died in a plane crash a year or so later.
Chuck taught at the Eastman too. The original friends and love concert was done there with appearences by Bat McGrath & Donnie Potter. They were local musicians. I played this album constantly when it came out.
Chuck was in music school at Eastman, when I started at U or R (the parent university) in engineering school. He finished that year (1970) and recorded the song "Hill Where the Lord Hides". He was a genius. Long hair, goofy looking, compared to the straight music students (Eastman and Julliard are the best music schools in the World). He broke the mold and was nominated in 1970 for a Grammy. The first "instrumental" to get nominated in decades. He lost to "Isaac Hays" and the "Theme from Shaft".
@ownyourfuture1 Not that I doubt you, but Chuck was born in 1940. So you're saying that Chuck didn't graduate from Eastman until he was 30 years of age? I seem to recall that Chuck and his brother Gap released an album under the nom de plume The Jazz Brothers around 1963, when both were studying at Eastman.
@davidhcrocker1 Chuck was a young faculty member @ Eastman, when he recorded this. I believe he was about 29 years old. He was director of the Eastman Jazz Ensemble at the time. And you are correct, Chuck & Gap had a group call The Jazz Brothers, in the '60's. A terrific band that included Sal Nestico.
I have looked on the web for years now trying to find the studio version of this song - and I can't find it - I can't even remember the name of the album
I was at this show - my mom took me and I was 10 years old. Even at that age, I was fascinated and loved the music. Chuck was such an animated conductor, and Don Potter and Bat McGrath were incredible. I have this on vinyl, but after all these years, it is pretty rough. THANK YOU for bring back incredible memories!
