Chuck Mangione - Bellavia album mp3

Bellavia by Chuck Mangione. An extraordinary theme. Bellavia by Chuck Mangione.

This quick follow-up to Chase the Clouds Away was designed as sort of a portrait of the bustling Mangione family home (Bellavia being his mother's maiden name). Certainly there is more energy on tracks like "Listen to the Wind," the big band streaks of "Torreano," and the appropriately revolving riffs of "Carousel" than on the previous record, with Joe LaBarbera, Gerry Niewood, and Chip Jackson forming the core of support for Chuck's more vigorous orchestral writing

Chuck Mangione is the brother of Gap Mangione, who is for his hard bop jazz. Bellavia has some of that bop influence mixed with larger-scale orchestrations, which makes for a lovely bop and big band sound. The sound is lush, but sometimes has an edge. Like Chase the Clouds Away, Bellavia was made before Mangione began producing highly popular (and, to me, bland) albums such as Feels So Good. 3 people found this helpful.
