Chuck Mangione Feels So Good

1 Feels So Good - 9:40 2 Maui-Waui - 10:11 3 Theme from "Side Street" - 2:03 4 Hide & Seek (Ready or Not Here I Come) - 6:25 5 Last Dance - 10:53 6 The XIth Commandment - 6:36

Due to the title cut, this was a huge seller when it originally came out. Reissued on CD, this set from flügelhornist Chuck Mangione (which helped give guitarist Grant Geissman some fame) is actually stronger from the jazz standpoint than Mangione's subsequent dates. The leader has some good solos, as does Geissman and saxophonist Chris Vadala, and the quintet's ensembles are generally both sparse and attractive. Pity that in ways this was Chuck Mangione's last worthwhile release to date; success did stunt his artistic growth. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
