The Music of Chuck Mangonie?
I was 15 the first time I heard the music of Chuck Mangonie, it was either on the Mike Douglas, Merv Griffin or Dinah Shore show. I was overwhelmed by his music, the way he played the flugle horn was amazing.
I had never heard anyone like Mangonie before, the closest and it was a different style was the Music of Buddy Rich and Dave Brubeck.
I got Mangonie's "Live from the Hollywood Bowl" album in 1980 and repurchased it a few years back on CD.
So what brought this to life today?
I was coming home on the bus and a gentleman by the name of Tucker and I got into a conversation, concerning music and suddenly we were discussing Chuck Mangonie.
So here are a few selections of his music, I hope you enjoy and share your memories you have of Chuck Mangonie.
