I grew up in the Rochester NY Area - and he was as much of a legend as Lou Graham of Foreigner.

Feels So Good.

He was bushed from playing a concert earlier, but was still gracious enough to sit in with us and play a tune when we asked him.

Nice guy, and funny too.

Here he is early on playing some bebop with Art Blakey and a 21 year old Keith Jarrett.

What a terrible week for musicians.

Aside from his more iconic songs, I definitely fell in love with his "Children of Sanchez" album.

But it was already some years ago when he started wanting to discuss his last wishes. At his funeral he wants life-affirming music. He likes a very broad spectrum on music, so his choices include Georg Philippe Telemann and Jose Carreras. But he wants the final piece - he last word - to be Mangione's "Give It All You've Got." (I have made a file of mp3s and also burned a CD.) Thank you, Chuck.
