We can argue about which performance is best but in many ways this defines all that is great in music. It's a classical structure with a rock beat and contains improvised jazz solos. Amazing

Jerry Neiwood what an amazing soloist… Chuck composer, arranger, player.. those were the days incredible music

this was the weakest performance I've heard Chuck do......at least from the backup musicians. I perfer his '74 performance with the NYS, no cometition

I finally have an afro I'm so happy 😊

What a beautiful voice! Amazing!

This is the very best ever Performance of "the legend of the one eyed sailor". Amen!

Such an iconic tune for the Blue Devils Drum & Bugle Corps back in 1976. Chuck's music was such a great inspiration for so many people. Such passion and great feeling to all of his tunes. Thank you Chuck.

RIP Chick Corea....

I heard him first at TU.

We played this in my marching band it was awesome

This is not the Massey Hall recording. This is another recording. Think this was recorded In his hometown of Rochester, NY in the early eighties.

I remember marching for Sahara Temple THUNDERHERD JR. DRUM & BUGLE CORPS in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania in the 80's and playing this tune. My God how it brings back so many memories of us ( an all black marching band ) with so much class and passion and feeling like I was on top of the world........GO HERD!

In early June of 1983, Chuck Mangione dropped by the practice of The Pride of Cincinnati Drum and Bugle Corps near the end of an all day practice. He came out of the shadows of the stands as we finished rehearsal. At first, everyone thought he was joking. Then we all realized that it really was Chuck Mangione. The next morning, he showed up to jam with us. It was awesome.

As a Rochester, NY native I have to say this is his best composition except Children of Sanchez.

Wow, this music is on the boil! I keep coming back to this song again and again. Awesome track from an awesome live album.

La privilegiada y sensual voz de Flora Purin nos hace degustar una mezcla de jazz con música brasileira.

This was our competition music last year for our jazz band, it was so fun and I loved the blue devils cover of it

LOVE this stuff....

I’m a teenager and I’m glad I’m one who appreciates music like this

Summer in the city & this is Beautiful

Sheet music ?

When I was 16, the first time I heard this album, it made me love jazz instantly !

louis Marinacio

He is a genius

I was drum and bugle corp. Was a great tune to cover!

Dynamique !

Groove!

This sound is what created the popularity of the DCI . Between Mangione , Doc, Maynard and a few more they exploded on the scene in our band halls all over the nation and world. Everyone wanted to play their music . Queen's new sound and the new sounds of the 70's were taken to the field as many wrote scores of their own.... One by one the songs found there way on the football fields and DCI contests all over the USA....

belleza pura, perfecta ...

Ran Reed & The Cella Dwellas!

Flora is just an incredible singer. Her voice is just soaring and beautiful!

Once you hear Flora her music is always with you!

I grew up listening to flora purim and chick corea and still love it today! awesome!

Reminds me of high school.

I played bellavia by Mr C.M back on 1980 with some jazz group from Trinity college from Hartford cnn nice number

How a mexican can love this music that much, is like is in my blood runing all over my body, thanks for this Chuck

I like this a lot but Hill Where the Lord Hides is my favorite orchestral work of CM's.

So many open windows of inspiration i such a short time... WOW!

Oh my god this just changed me, this was so surreal. So glad I stumbled upon this!

...Beauty is always close...We talk too much and feel too little...The eye misses all the colors and is sated only by all the darkness...Such a waste of precious Time...Tomorrow becomes yesterday...Where did today go...Lovely Flora is a lavender breeze across my brow...Wish that I had heard this once upon a long time ago in the A Shau Valley..."...I am certain of nothing except the holiness of the Heart's affections and the truth of the Imagination..."(Keats)...Blessings to all points of the compass...James Patrick Casey, Esq...

O yeah that's right ;) I'm a cis popeye ;) God Bless the US Navy .

The Blue Devils performed the Legend of the One Eyed Sailor in 1976 at the DCI world championships at Franklin Field in Philly. I was there as a lead soprano soloist for the Capital Freelancers. The Blue Devils won the world title but we were contenders. DCI has video available on their website as the Legacy series

great jazz song!

I love this composition by Chick.
