Record's spinning too fast. This is one half-step too high. I knew it didn't sound right...

@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!

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".

@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 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!

Rochester,NY needs to be proud of the Mangione brothers. I had the good fortune to live in Rochester for a year. Such a great city.

@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.

It's not a trumpet, it's a flugle horn.

I think my uncle's playing on this..half uncle Marv Stamm..Talked to him twice in like 40 yrs..Nice very articulate..we had a few good talks..

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.
