land of lake believe "Chuck Mangione"

[tennesseetrumpet]

...I suspect that Chuck might also own a trumpet with a Dizzy Gillespie style bell ( that Dizzy may have given to him???), but I have only seen one picture of Chuck ever playing a Dizzy upbell trumpet. - Dr. Michael E. Schmidt

[tennesseetrumpet]

... the horn you will see on most of his clips. Think of it this way, the flugelhorn with the lacquer bell is a Yamaha 631, and the flugelhorn with the copper bell in his latest clips is a Calicchio. Chuck plays on a Calicchio 1s7 trumpet, which is basically the only trumpet that Chuck has ever played on at a rare time when he does play the trumpet. You can hear Chuck play the trumpet on his earliest of recording, 60's era)...

[tennesseetrumpet]

Chuck currently plays on a Calicchio flugelhorn (that I suspect has a John Duda made bell) (1989, Chris Calicchio era) w/ a copper 6 1/2 bell. Chuck plays on a custom mouthpiece (Chuck told me so himself when I spoke to him in person and asked) that he had made to be similar to his original couenon mouthpiece, the mouthpiece that he used on his silver 731 (Chase the Clouds Away, + Feels So Good clip when Chuck was introduced by the late John Denver) , and his lacquer Yamaha 631 flugelhorn, ...

[marvelguy2]

stamina much?

[windsong1954]

Oh, I just read through some more posts, and saw below that Mark Manetta passed away... so sorry to hear that. Was that really Gordon Johnson who posted below? :) Oh, love your performance in this concert too... everyone was great I thought! Love the bass solo on Hide and Seek!

[windsong1954]

I just love this concert video from 1989... I play it all the time!! I think the band members here were a great combination.... and to those who didn't recognize them, well there's Billy Martin on percussion (now of Medeski, Martin and Wood) and Rob Mathes (vocals, keyboard, guitar), Joe Bonadio (drums), Gordon Johnson (bass) and Mark Manetta (guitar). I so want this music on a CD as well... I don't have the know-how to grab the music from the video, unfortunately. The concert is great!

[fossiljazz]

goddddddddddddddddddd



[shningrose]

whats up with the thing he does with his tongue in the middle

[QUASARA]

ho yeah, esther satterfield shines in this. las vegas baby. the sunrise painting the desert is something you'll never forget. and with this in the background, nothing could be better. layin in bed with the one you luv doesn't hurt either.

[stevedubintennis]

shit he could really blow back then

[CHESSmaster69SH]

We played a Chuck Manjione show for our marching band show this past year and our band director said at practice on day, "Mand of Lake Believe". so that's what we called it from then on.

[Baritone45]

God, he was so f-ing young! Looks much better clean-shaven. Most people do. Where'd the time go?

I don't recognize any of the band. This must have been post-glory days, no? When was this recorded? Perhaps the 80s judging by the bassist's glasses and Chuck's shave. (What's with the spell-checker here, is it set to British spelling? Recognize is with a z in American English.)

[tonalities]

The percussionist is Billy Martin, of Madeski Martin & Wood. The drummer is Joe Bonadio. I am the bassist, Gordon Johnson... Rob Mathes on keys, the late Mark Manetta, guitar...

[knightflyte]

@tonalities

I have a couple of bootleg performances by this version of the Chuck Mangione Band. I have to say, Gordon, I think you guys are so under rated. Mark (RIP) had some bitchin' solos in the live performances of Eyes of the Veiled Temptress." Billy Martin's Hot Consuelo is iconic in my mind. Love Joe's performance on "LoMB."

I remember seeing you with Chuck at the Newport Jazz Festival back in the early 80s. Excellent work. You must be one of Chuck longest member. Almost a decade? THANx

[MrRittmuller]

[MrRittmuller]

great job......great feel....fine sound....

bravissimi, ma che sono venuti da marte?

[Soquiput]

One of my ALLTIME favorites! Pure joy!

[G8RDuc]

Anyone know who the percussionist is??

[ChristopherBordelon1]

I saw him and Maynard Ferguson and Ray Charles in Nashville TN on the Riverfront a few years ago. HE IS AWESOME!!!!!!

[ronaldosucks1]

Happy birthday Chuck, one love.

[timcthefilmguy]

Happy 70th birthday Chuck!

[awomaninva55]

Land Of Make Believe..........LOVE IT !!

[Balstann]

Does anyone know who the acoustic guitar player is?

[Racerbob260]

@Balstann

That is the great Mark Manetta. A personal friend who we lost several years ago. HE was a great guy and is dearly missed.

[Mutch820]

@Balstann That's Mark Manetta. He passed away about 5 years ago.

[trompeniego]

qué valiente! con lo mal que sabe la boquilla cuando le das besos...!! xD

Salt Peanuts! Salt Peanuts!

[xdrmaj]

I see Mark Manetta in there !!!!

[aligatorsandwitch72]

I'd like to see him & Guthrie Govan go back and forth.

[ork476]

Saw him live when I was like 13 awesome players all around

[SunSop66]

@Qermaq..

First - a flugelhorn is fairly difficult to play well as a lead horn. Second - depending on when during a show this song is played the lip tires some, and a few clams result. Now try listening to some of the greatest trumpeters of all time - especially jazz artists. Clams are a way of life for them, and lousy tone to boot.

Have you never clammed?

[LROBB74]

I remember my father from this song. He use to be a musician, when I was 5 or 7 yrs old he use to listen this song to play it with his band. I almost forget... do.. ya remember "Los hijos de Sanchez"

[toniwashingtin]

Love it! Chuck is the man! I love all of these guys!

[15243popopo]

I play the trumptet and let me tell you, no matter how good you are, it's impossible not to clam sometimes. Thats just the nature of the beast.

[curtis123465]

@15243popopo maybe you just suck

[blackstar503]

if your looking for something seek its opposite. seeking perfection is only going to yield a miserable mean spirit of which there is no creative perfection only boastfull distruction.

[Qermaq]

@blackstar503 Creativity within restraint is art at its essence, but there is no harm in looking for control and skill in the paintstrokes either. I actually do like Mangione but I personally prefer a musician with a tad more control over his craft.

[Hollygolligthly]

!!!Muy bueno!!!. Esto lo echaron en "Jazz entre amigos" de tve mas o menos en el año 90 y lo pude grabar en video, pero despues se me borro. Me ha encantado verlo de nuevo

[robertv9]

Look at Mannetta. (-: A great friend since our child hood days. What a great guy and a fantastic musician! We all miss him.......Bob V.

[Moog167]

Whos on drums?

Ian Froman?

[knightflyte]

@Moog167

Joe Bonadio

[pg13superstar]

nice "Salt Peanuts" ending...

[stuksy4321]

Saw him back in 82 or so, with James Bradley, Grant Geissman, Chris Vadala and I don't remember who the bassist was (not Charlie Meeks). Also saw him in 90. Great shows. Great showman. Favorite jazz/fusion artist!

[debby6]

Hey, where's Esther?!!!!!!

[TexanGURU03]

6:45 - 6:53..... "Hey Chuck I'm on fire with the keyboard.  Where is my raise?"

[TexanGURU03]

...... 2:13 "!!#@* how did I get myself into the extended version of this song I'm tired"

[neody14]

as i know this is land of make believe..?

am i ryt??

[TonyW1000]

Where's Bucks Fizz????

[locolapapa]

:27 white man dance

[oldschooldrumcorps]

I wonder how many people know Chuck played with Art Blakey and the Jazz messengers, and while he was with tha band, played with keith Jarret, Chick Corea, John Hicks, and whole host of other fine musicians

[andrecaron2]

nice sounds CKUCK.

going to play at Montréal, Canada.

Tanks you. Festival de jJAZZ de Montreal.

[trojanowl]

Chuck was always more about the music & the song then trying to impress us with his personal solo ability.

But everyonce in a while, he would let you know he can BLOW that thing. :-)

[lemiznut]

I liked the vocal version also, is it available?

[micahj]

love how the only one in the band with an easy part is Chuck...

[b8tovene]

@micahj One...he WROTE the music, and two, I would love to see you, or an accomplished horn player, play this, with the skill, and technique seen here. Please post that video for us.

[micahj]

b8tovene... First off, my point was this: the band is killer. They play well. But, Chuck, great at trumpet/flugel as he may have been, didn't do anything in this particular clip to demonstrate the depth of his abilities, or anything technically amazing or musically mind-blowing, in my opinion. Secondly, I'll save my time on putting together a rhythm section for long enough to play sterile Bb major Bird licks. If you really want to hear my playing, there are a few vids one this site.

[micahj]

Unfortunately for my argument (I guess...), none of them are "Land of Make Believe," so I guess it's not worth your time, lol. Just search "Micah Maurio." I'm not, nor have I ever implied that Chuck's not a good player, or that I'm better. We're certainly different though... (try to) Enjoy!

[ELVISHAGA]

I love Chuck and have many of his albums, the solos on this version are superior to the ones on the hollywood bowl album.. Stunning!!

[knightflyte]

@ELVISHAGA

I like Mark Manetta, but his solo doesn't even comes close to Grant's on the Hollywood Bowl album for me.

In all honesty LOMB is one of my two top favorite songs in the world. I don't think I could give you a definitive answer as to which version of LOMB would be the best to me. They're all great sources of enjoyment.

I always listen to the Esther Satterfield version on Martin Luther Kings birthday.... which is today, BTW.

[ELVISHAGA]

My comment was about the general feeling of this arrangement. I like Grant, but Chucks solos on this one are world class, the ones on hollywood bowl are a bit whimsical at times. Anyway, Chuck is the best, good to see him back in business!

[knightflyte]

Agreed. The best. He's not listed 2010 dates yet, but hope he comes to my area.

[0rthello]

Played this song myself. It gives me lots of energy! BTW.. it's "land of MAKE believe" ;)

[rodasalejandria]

adejuric thank iu for share woo

i like CHUCK MANGIONE AND HIS ORCHESTRA !!!!

AWESOME !!!!

[idiotmuffin]

that guitarist reminded me of nacho libre.

[pkabel66]

Mark Mannetta of Rochester, NY. Great guitar and bassist. Passed about a year and a half ago. Terrible loss for those of us who heard him play.

[Racerbob260]

@pkabel66 Oh yes...my brother Bill Blind (local drummer) and Mark were extremely close. And Mark treated my wife and myself like family every time we saw him. We miss Mark more than ever. Glad that I ran across this video ! Peace.

[Qermaq]

Land of LAKE believe?!?

[Uttarayan]

@Qermaq

LAAAAAL i didnt notice

[101MIzzzSmiLeZ101]

thee greatest

[ELVISHAGA]

I think he looked better with the cape and the beard, but then again what the hell, its the music that matters! Great performance from Chuck, as always

[Gwenlj]

Love Him!!!!!! classic! (:

[behold888]

Who is playing drums?

[drummerlead]

I thought it looked like a very young Steve Gadd.

[Moog167]

it's definately not Gadd....Gadd never played on Sabian.....and I don't remember him having long hair back in the day

[DDR212]

Is it just me, or does the very end sounds like Salt Peanuts by Dizzy Gillespie?

Great stuff anyways.

[matthewR77]

Yes, it is definitely a quote of Salt Peanuts.

[drummerlead]

Yes it does very much! :) Tee hee!

[Redliner500]

kinda looks like stevie rays brother! and it is called "Land of Make Believe"

[oeazee]

may be "Land of make Believe" Please !

[uniqueboutique85]

Thank you Mr. Sansoucy for exposing me to Chuck Mangione in the late 1970's! Amazing talent, beautiful, ethereal. PURE JAZZ!

[ricogarion]

I need to see Chuck and his band once at least,don't know why I've waited so long.

[hanspetersalentin]

Yeah..so easy..but just great !!!

Hp

[PigletVanGogh]

I believe it's Land of MAKE Believe, not Lake Believe. The late Esther Satterfield vocals made this one of Chuck's most beautiful arrangements. Seeing him this Wednesday night in NYC. Can't wait!

[jhozae]

Yep, make believe. Great post though!

[gnsky77]

Yo Esther died? Man I did not hear about that one.

I did a show with Chuck-I was the stage manager and he was real cool-Just hearing him warm up you knew you were in for one helluva show!!-Ya he allowed me to sit in one his sound check. I have heard a lot of musicians, with the job I had, but man this guy was a perfectionist-awesome talent!! and nice person to work with

[sandifontana]

Esther Died...When? anyone know?

[Qermaq]

For a perfectionist he allowed himself asn awful lot of clams.

Not hating. Love the guy. But he is an odd perfectionist when he does not apply the same level to himself as he does his band.

[droberts002]

@Qermaq A lot of clams?? You must be hearing things. It's not perfect but it is an outstanding performance of a wonderful song. If you're trying to analyze a piece for perfection, you're missing the point.

[blackstar503]

@Qermaq if your looking for something seek its opposite. seeking perfection is only going to yield a miserable mean spirit of which there is no creative perfection only miserable boastfull distruction. thats why chuck brings us that beautiful inspired music , there is why he is wonderfully odd.

[arturolabuca]

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaa

[Isolar]

FABULOUS:)

[jasonsgroovemachine]

I owe my Junior High band director so much, he got me listening to Chuck and Sonny and just a ton of other great musicians. I wish he still lived around here.

[NefariousNeil]

Steve Gadd on Drums....it is so nice.

[knightflyte]

That's not Steve Gadd. I THINK it's Joe Bonadio

[RougeJediKnight]

fucking crazy good

[MuSiC93x3]

im going to see this guy right there june 13!

[ubizmu]

kcham to i tyle

[mangione56]

Tak, ja to też KOCHAM. i TO BARDZO. Jest wspaniałym przeżyciem móc słuchać Go na żywo. ja miałem tę frajdę. Był w 2000 roku w Szczecinie. koncert na Zamku Książąt Pomorskich w Dniu Matki. Dwadzieścia lat wcześniej słuchałem Go w USA. :-))

[rodasalejandria]

Thanks adejuric...

Congratulations for posting!!!!

AWESOME MR MANGIONE !!!!!!

[diablo988]

Great music. Chuck is fantastic. He assmebled a superlative rhythm section.

[mimidec67]

I played trumpet in high school. Broken Arrow Pride class of 85-86 and we played this in our half time show. Best song ever. We won awards for it!

[iamthemindseye]

All I currently have to remember the awesome Mangione/Satterfield performance is an old scratched LP. So again...if anyone has a video...Land Of Make Believe....Chuck Mangione and Ester Satterfield....set it free...please...set it free !

[Jolar70]

Hey, that version with Esther is on a CD called "Danny Krivit Grass Roots". Danny Krivit is a DJ here in New York who's been playing clubs since the 70's. The CD is a collection of his favorites and influences. It's on Strut records, which is a British label. It came out in 2001 but it's still listed on Amazon.

[Jolar70]

p.s. - it's the full 12 minute mix and it's not a mixed CD so each song is separate.

[iamthemindseye]

Sweet video - great quality - ty tyvm. I would really LOVE to see the version with Ester Satterfield on vocal. If anyone has a video of that...please....please....ple­ase....share it !

[michelle2007baby]

I believe the song is called Land of MAKE Believe. Learn how to spell.

[XxMANKITTYXx]

spellin got no place on da internetzz.

[JacobR343]

wat mouthpiece/flugelhorn does he play on??

[analyzingfunny]

Is that Freddy Fender playing accoustic guitar?

[Dmmac]

Guitarist is Mark Manetta - who sadly passed away in 2005 (48 years old) from complications from Diabetes.

[knightflyte]

I never knew that, dmmac.

I've been listening to the Village Gate version and like Mark's groove. It is definitely different than Grant's but still a very enjoyable solo.

Wow. I'm a bit stunned. I don't even remember this being mentioned on MagioneMagic.

[knightflyte]

This is probably from '88ish so it's not too new. Great performance though. Percussion added a whole different feel. I like the groove from about 6 minutes . A different take from the other versions.

Chuck held up very well without a reedman like Chris Vadala or Gerry Neiwood.

[r1skate]

There is a '87 concert posted where he looks almost the same as this. He has gained a few pounds here, so my guess you are on the right year or within a few at the very least.

[nomoreliesplease]

What a great solo and playing. This is the best I've heard Chuck play in a long time. Nice to hear him "in the zone" again. Last time I saw him perform was at his 1st appearance at the Hollywood Bowl. Now I've got to catch him again. Thanks for posting this.

[d3ll02]

Now this is real music......

[RPintorO]

you said it brother...real music

[SalaputiaBrass]

das ist die geilste nummer welt!!

[ZacTV]

play this in jazz band! all tough my bass line is really easy. haha love the song though

[jazzpiano10]

this proves that he still can play real jazz if he wanted too. Now why doesn't he. I wanna hear Chuck swing again, like back in the old days

[tonyztuba]

Sadly, as you know, you don't make any money to swing!

[HarryCockenbalz]

Very nice video! Thanks for sharing!

[wilhamcobly]

The best Chuck's composition. Very innovative.
