Chuck Mangione: Beyond the Feels So Good

He wore a flugelhorn like a second skin and a smile like a signature. Chuck Mangione wasn’t just a jazz musician — he was a genre-bending innovator who brought warmth, melody, and emotion to a world of improvisation and complexity. From “Feels So Good” to Olympic ceremonies, sitcom cameos, and his deep roots in Rochester, Mangione’s legacy is as joyful as his sound.

In this episode of The Echo Lab, we dive deep into the story behind the man who made jazz accessible to millions — and kept it fun. We’ll explore the lesser-known chapters of his life, his impact on pop culture, and the music that still makes people feel so good.

Rest in peace, Chuck Mangione. Your horn may be silent, but your music still sings.
