The result was a pop-jazz hybrid with enormous commercial appeal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cFeels So Good,\u201d released in October 1977 as the title track off what quickly became a double-platinum album, made Mr. Mangione a superstar and cemented his style. It was infused with jazzlike licks but light on true jazz improvisation. Still, it brought the notion of jazz to a vast music-buying public that, for at least a decade, had been focused almost exclusively on rock \u2019n\u2019 roll and its offshoots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Mr. Mangione\u2019s jazz roots ran deep. His earliest work had been as a trumpeter in the 1960s in the big bands of Woody Herman and Maynard Ferguson and the drummer Art Blakey\u2019s quintet (which also included a young Keith Jarrett on piano), and he knew how to blow. Stardom in the record business did not ultimately gratify him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cI would get a lot of calls from different companies,\u201d he recalled. \u201c\u2018Oh, yeah, Chuck, you started that \u2018smooth jazz\u2019 sound and we\u2019d love to have you. Here\u2019s what we\u2019d like to do: We\u2019d like the tempo to be like this and it\u2019s got to have this sound, and a juggler and three elephants, and \u2026\u2019 I was not excited about that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u201cI\u2019ve written probably 95 percent of the music I\u2019ve played,\u201d Mr. Mangione once said, \u201cbut I don\u2019t take credit for writing the music. I feel like the cord between the plug in the wall and the tape recorder; I wait around and hope I get some new information, and then try to present it in the best possible way. I\u2019m very protective of it and don\u2019t put it out there until I feel like it\u2019s really happening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">He added, \u201cDizzy taught me that if you want to just play whatever you want to play without considering the audience, fine.
