YEAR 2024. Covid controls our thoughts.

[@johnventura7741]

Chuck with Chris Vadala, Grant Giesman, Charles Meeks, James Bradley and all those horns!!!!! Magic.

[@brianvadala]

Thank you for this... Missing my Uncle Chris and this helped a great deal. Thank you again

[@edhull9320]

Your uncle's music got me through many of my growing-up years. At one point, I could sing nearly all of his solos note for note.

[@brianvadala]

@@brianbaker2759 I was told I was there too 😀 I was only about two years old then. Thank you for the kind words

[@560emg]

I met Chris at one of his medical appointments. Got to talk to him awhile about his music and how much it meant so much to me growing up. He was very kind and gracious. Even sent me one of his CDs. Just a wonderful human being. He is greatly missed.

[@colleenengelmann7896]

Ultimate Sax baby! Prayers..."Well done" doesn't even begin to describe...Hang on young man and God Bless you!

[@kpjmphotographs9903]

My condolences for your loss. I saw your Uncle perform many times back in the eighties and nineties. What an incredible talent he was. I still have an autograph he signed for me back in 1980 when I was fifteen. He was gracious and kind when he chatted with me as a kid. Such an incredible player. Gone too soon... :-(

[@sparkykoerner4124]

The real star of this video is the Late Great Chris Vadala who played a great Soprano Sax Solo, the picked up Flute for a few bars behind Chuck and then wrapped it up on Tenor Sax. RIP Chris is was great knowing you and your musicianship.

[@hardwiredtoselfdestruction3401]

I would say the bassist Meeks. Hes the Man!!

[@martindalmasi5340]

Chuck has not had good luck with Sax players- Niewood died in a plane crash.

[@fbcpok5253]

The master of the wind instruments, Chris Vidala, has a special place in heaven - God's Jazz band! Amen

[@bubnick46]

Chuck, Chris Vadala on clarinet, flute and sax, Grant Geissman on guitar, Charles "Mean Man" Meeks on bass and James Bradley Jr on the skins. That was a legendary team of musicians there.

[@rogerdaily4992]

Jeff Tyzik, trumpet in with the Tonight Show Band section hitting the high notes.

[@B715]

He is playing a soprano saxophone, not a clarinet. A clarinet is made of wood, and a saxophone is made from brass.

[@Jkeller1964]

Unquestionably one of the great performances ever on live TV. The late Chris Vadala owned this song.

[@cheshire6176]

Thanks... couldn't remember his name.

[@briancruz4238]

Chuck Mangione is the only reason I ever bought a Flugelhorn!! He is an absolute monster and master of music! This lineup was the best of all time and I so very much enjoy watching these videos!! I saw him perform many times in the 70's, 80's and 90's and will never tire of his music. Chris Vadala was best musician to play with Chuck. May he rest in peace.

[@johntatum8088]

Hi Brian, I have a flugelhorn because of Chuck and Feels So Good.,

[@GerbertzNachriya]

Of all the recorded versions I’ve found of this song, this is my favorite because the bass guitar comes in so clear and makes the whole song cohere.

[@DavidGlover-s7x]

Chuck and Chris were of fire with their solos.

[@m22110]

Hollywood Bowl recording is the best

[@TomTimeTraveler]

When music was music. Chuck Mangione belongs in the “Hall of Fame of Real Music.”

[@indigosoundsstudio]

Featuring the late great Chris Vadala on soprano saxophone, tenor saxophone & flute!

[@edhull9320]

"And on everything, from Poughkeepsie, New York ... Chris Vadala!"

[@brianvadala]

@@edhull9320 that was my favorite part of every show

[@cupcakejonez7923]

Mr. Vadala didn't let cancer stop him...he was a legend & scholar who kept right on working till the end NEVER missing an engagement or opportunity to work & share his knowledge..rip brother.🙏🏽❤🕊⚘🙏🏽🕊⚘

[@JoeCox-cb7fp]

The first time I heard this was when I was in high school, and I thought it was an awesome piece of music.

[@darrylscott8542]

I'm friends with Chris Vadalas brother. What a great player and a wonderful family.❤

[@vincentparlante6274]

Chuck Mangione a graduate of the finest schools Eastman

[@gregoryoleynik3698]

Chris Vadala is the current Jazz Band director at the University of Maryland. He took over from Dr. George Ross.

[@Kittykshea]

He sadly passed away five years ago. He was a talented musician and an amazing father. A great man. There are many tributes on KZbin dedicated to him now :)

[@phill.2924]

​@@KittyksheaThank you for this update on this wonderful musician. RIP Chris.

[@Boss42n]

I had the pleasure of praying this song in my high school jazz band. I love how busy it gets at the end of the song. I was so happy seeing Chuck in concert back in 1989 (with Chris Vadala). A few years later, I was attending college in DC and heard that Chris was the jazz instructor at UMD. I have seen him play several times during my college years; what a treat.

[@Lightsngear]

It's a damn shame AntennaTV isn't allowed to air the Carson shows that featured great musical acts like this!!

[@SophisticatedBob]

Grant Geissman. A true beast of a player. All of them are.

[@BranMarPercussion]

The tune that allowed Chuck Mangione to get out of Rochester NY every once in a while.

[@Stefluva62]

That's from Live at The Hollywood Bowl Album if I'm not mistaken!!!!

[@JoeMalato]

I will for the rest of my life, remember playing this, standing next to Marvin.

[@keithdaniel6313]

I saw Chuck and his brother Gap at The Garage in Rochester one memorable night in 1964. And he did a workshop with our high school jazz band. A great musician and a fine human being.

[@catcat1517]

French Horns my love. This is just so darn good.

[@rynlyn0702]

It’s that bass guitar for me….wow!

[@WreckOfLamb]

Charles “Meekman” Meeks! He played a lot with Earl Klugh too.

[@PressingMyLuckTruck]

Every time the soprano sax solos, I’m just listening to the bass player. He’s great.

[@claudpiro6469]

Bass guitar? Bah...

[@Kasino80]

Proper music!

[@GioSinatraFan]

Saw this band live twice. Incredibly talented. As a sax player myself, I always loved and respected Chris Vadala's creativity and talent.

[@delmenendez]

Chris was and will remain LEGEND.

[@mr.kiggleshasanopinion1713]

I’m from Rochester New York home of Chuck Mangione SO PROUD

[@Jkeller1964]

Chuck calls this "the song that let us get out of Rochester New York once in awhile.'

[@SteveWang251]

Fellow Rochesterian and longtime Mangione fan here! I saw Chuck play live in Rochester 4 or 5 times growing up. He was a musical hero to me.

[@yankeewash72]

What a gifted musician Gerry Niewood was, and what a terrible loss it was when he died on the Colgan 3407 plane crash back in February 2009.

[@michaelwolfson180]

Thumbs up all the way❤

[@cgdmusicman09]

Geissman alone was already driving the rhythm at the beginning but when the drums and bass come in he grins with excitement.

[@DennisJohnsonDrummer]

Instrumental music at its best. Love Chuck Mangione.

[@johnwilson2456]

Chuck's music is magic. RIP Chris!

[@acedrumminman]

I grew up around Chuck, were both from Rochester, him, Gadd Gerry Niewood, Vinnie Ruggerio...he came to my High School and spend six weeks rehearsing our Concert and Jazz Band...he was great fun and made us feel like real players.

[@clcortelyou]

I must be just a few years younger than you. I was a freshman in high school in Geneva when “Feels So Good” came out. How cool it must have been to with those guys!

[@jerrykitich3318]

Love how he starts out in the conducting pose, back to camera. National TV appearance? Who cares, let's groove.

[@brianbaker2759]

Such an amazing song. That soprano sax. That bassline. Dang!

[@robertomarte6457]

I give so much thanks to God for this Jewel video to be available for all of us to witness and enjoy the greatness of Chuck Mangione and his band. Sound is excellent and well syncronized with the instruments and every stroke. I can't have enough of this video; watch it every day. Thank you Leatherlips.

[@johnmarquez8566]

Approximately 15 years ago, my brother and I attended a Chuck Mangione concert at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, Ca. Two of my favorite Chucks songs are “hill where the lord hides” and “chase the clouds away”. The band played both of these songs and sounded great!! I particularly liked Chris Vadalas playing and am sorry to hear of his passing 😀

[@joebloggs4754]

i am from ROCHESTER and was there in early 70s watching this.with our orchestra...now that was an event...i was 18

[@daveshambach275]

I was from Lockport. Our associate pastor took us to a Mangione/RPO Concert. Had never heard of him before. It was a good concert, but when I heard "Hill Where the Lord Hides" as a single that summer, I said, "I know I've heard that before." Have always loved his music. He was supposed to perform in Buffalo at Kleinhans the day after Flight 3407 crashed-- what a loss, especially Gerry Niewood, who was a legendary sax player, and Coleman Mellett. Msangione came back that Fall and performed an emotional concert in 2009 that brought the house down. Great to see this clip from "The Tonight Show".

[@colleenengelmann7896]

@@daveshambach275, Yes! Rochester, NY girl here...God Bless All that passed on that Flight and the Man at home in Buffalo, NY. RIP Gerry and Coleman! Regular guys, friends with my Dad (predeceased).

My 6th grade music teacher Mr.john Thomas played the horn like this1978 , now I know where it came from...To bad I was pre occupied with hard rock and heavy metal at the time.I really wanted to learn play e f sax, never get thoughs days or brain cells back ...

[@luistorres9449]

Never late.The teacher comes when the student is ready.enjoy this ride.

[@michaelshea4834]

I was a Jr High student in the mid 70's, and he came to our school in Spencerport, NY and put on a concert. Why there? Because he had kids and lived in the district. His parents actually ran a small concession sell music and t-shirts that night too. This song was the last one they did that night and it was electrifying!

[@daveenyart]

nothing short of magical

[@eternalsongsbsas]

[@johntatum1951]

French horns ...nice touch of orchestration here! give Chris V his due. Of course, Chuck's tone is always incredible.

[@timwarneka5681]

Absolutely. And Grant G driving the song with this guitar. Amazing the sounds he can get out of the ES-175. (Also, is he like 12 in this video?!? So young! ;-)

[@audiojunkie1047]

Thank you to the one who provided this great video clip! It was Chuck's "Feels So Good" that got my ear and heart to listen to something other than Pop/Rock music growing up during my jr./high school days. Saw him twice at the old Universal Amphitheatre LA during school days. Live at the Hollywood Bowl STILL sounds awesome today. Charles "Mean Man" Meeks on bass, James "Jail Bait" Bradley, Jr., on the drums, and on "Everything" Chris Vadala, per Chuck from LATHB. Great music from The Man Chuck Mangione, his group and musicians! Thank you Chuck!!!
