Chuck Mangione- Feels So Good-LP

• Format: LP

Chuck Mangione’s Feels So Good stands out as a defining moment in late-’70s jazz, where his flugelhorn melodies glide effortlessly over a blend of smooth jazz and soul-jazz grooves. The title track "Feels So Good" became a crossover sensation, balancing catchy hooks with the warmth of an acoustic small ensemble, featuring percussive accents from James Bradley Jr. on congas and timbales. The album’s polished arrangements, all crafted by Mangione himself, reflect a focused listening experience that rewards repeated plays, while the artwork by Roland Young and Junie Osaki adds a sleek visual touch that complements the music’s breezy sophistication. This 1977 vinyl pressing offers a vintage feel for those who appreciate the era’s sound and production style. The record is graded VG++, presenting glossy, very clean vinyl with only minor, faint paper scuffs that won’t detract from playback. If you’re curating a collection of smooth but thoughtful jazz from this period, this pressing provides a solid foundation—no need to chase the impossibly perfect copy when this one holds its own with a crisp presentation. It’s a record that reminds you the flugelhorn doesn’t always have to shout to be heard.
