This is one of the smoothest musical offerings ever! If you like cool jazz and improvisation, this is the cd for you. Mangione's flugelhorn is one of the sweetest instruments. "Feels So Good" is a jazz classic. "Hide and Seek" brings back reminisces of childhood gone by. All in all, this album is one that should be in every collection.
I used to have this recording on LP when it was first realeased in the late '70s. I have to say it is as fresh and inspiring today as it was when it got so much acclaim back then. Original, dynamic, diverse, fluid...truely a master of that horn. The backing musicians are QUITE good with a lively and highly textured sound. The remastering was done as good as you could expect. If you never heard Chuck this is a perfect place to start. Better than I remember. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
