Never thought id fall down a chuck mangione rabbit hole but here we are

I will never get tired of listening to Chris Vadala’s sax solo-nothing else slaps this hard RIP

The band spent a week in a studio writing and recording the entire movie score without coming out until it was complete. Talent and dedication.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T for ALL musicians in this Mangione masterpiece! Breathtakingly captivating and absolutely a musical feast.

R.I.P. Chris Vadala. Gone too soon. One of the members of this band that made it what it was. He is playing duets with Bird and Coltrane in heaven now.

Amazing playing by all. Guitar is crazy good. Chris is playing at an extremely high level. Young drummer to kicking it. Bass is solid and driving it. Chuck is awesome. Excellent performance!

I really love Chuck Mangione! He is a consummate artist and his Children Of Sanchez is superb! Way to go Chuck!

Without dreams of hope and pride, a man will die Though his flesh still moves his heart sleeps in the grave Without land, a man never dreams cause he's not free All men need a place to live with dignity. Take the crumbs from starving soldiers, they won't die Lord said not by bread alone does man survive Take the food from hungry children, they won't cry Food alone won't ease the hunger in their eyes. ~ Chuck Mangione

Quite possibly the best piece of music I've ever heard in my entire life! A true masterpiece.

It is not easy to make that flugelhorn sound in high notes, Chuck is a virtuoso in that instrument. Best time, best music, Many memmories.

This is pure! That is the way music should be played and written. How can anyone not enjoy this!

A truly great soprano sax solo! Beautiful live performance by one and all.

Great performance. Chris Vadala went nuts on that solo.

If your brain and your heart can't appreciate what they're hearing, you may have no soul...

This song is timeless! I’ve been listening to it since it’s release over 40 years ago. This rendition ithink is a notch above the live at the Hollywood bowl !

Jesus, Chris nailed this. I'm out of breath and I didn't even play.

Chris Vadalha on sax is the best. When I saw him in concert, blew me away!!!!!!

Chuck Mangioni y su orquesta llenaron toda una época de música instrumental de lo mejor.

One of the greatest of compositions. RIP Chris Vadala, phenomenal artist, tone, heart. #OdedFriedGaon #OdedMusic #Audioded

One of the best Jazz band and trumpeeter I 've ever seen in the whole entire world. Mabuhay!!!!

I thought I’d give some commendation to the drummer since few comments have. The wild syncopations in this piece had to give that poor guy a run for the money. He sure kept them, and himself, on target. Well done!

Simplemente maravilloso, genial, mis respetos para estos maestros y su interpretación de los "hijos de Sánchez"☺☺

can't stop listening to it!

Classic Jazz...everyone is kicking ass! Superb!

Listen & watch these incredible jazz musicians at their best! Each maestro featured in a solo to display his musical prowess. AND playing together, perfection! A "tour de force" ! BRAVO !!

The guitarist killed it. Amazing

zawsze w tym nagraniu rozwala mnie człowiek w pulowerku wygrywający na perkusji jeden z najwspanialszych rytmów jakie słyszałem :)

Greatest musical score for a movie that was never released! I read he wrote the score in 72 hours! Great musicians all of them!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for the great music!!

Esta melodía de Chuck Mangione es espectacular. Hace 29 años cuando mi hijo mayor se encontraba en el vientre de la Mama, yo lo despertaba con unos audífonos, colocandolos sobre la barriga de ella, porque El era muy dormilón y a veces nos hacia asustar. Gracias Chuck.

Astounding!!!But what I do miss is Don Potters sublime vocal!!

Love this tune, love this chord progression, and love this guitar!

Legendary musicians making legendary music

何度聞いても聞き飽きない、ギターの人の陶酔感が最高!

The sheer physicality of the drums and guitar throughout is astounding only surpassed by the talent of the entire ensemble....WOW!

That Guitar¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ Chuck is a genius, but the guitarist is a Pro, is the best version of children of sanches i've ever heard. Thank you for post this.

Still sounds great more than a decade later!!!

it is just majestic, excelent music, made for very sensitive souls!!!

No cabe duda de la gran instrumentación, excelente ensamble de grandes músicos. Musica únicamente para gente pensando en excelencia. ! ! ! !

Oh, my! These guys left it ALL on the stage this night! Great, great --

drummer's genius

For me this was his greatest album. I still have it in the original vinyl. Such a great , great composition. Thank you!!

just wonderful and amazing ! YOU GUYS WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN ! :)

I wish I was in Warsaw and saw this live. Thanx for uploading

Bravo Mr. Mangione, wherever you may be!

Excelente pieza musical. Todo el álbum es de primera.

Paulie, bette, and Me were his biggest fans. Had everyone of his vinyl albums. Just one of the greatest talents ever!!!!!

That is not music but magic, the guitar is great and the whole group superb.

Mój ulubiony utwór Chucka Mangione.

Holy crap....Chris Vadala is f 'ing amazing!

Go CHRIS!! What a treat to see this

Nobody and nothing comparable to the original artist performance, ladies and gentlemen Jazz Man Chuck Mangione !

Amazeballs chuck this was surely your best of children of sanchez

Each man, is the best in their own field. Chuck leading the way, BUT each one of the other musicians, ARE THE BEST!!!!!! They ROCK!

Guitar man is Dangerus :)

Pure magic. Just fantactic. Love it.

One of the very best! Always happily enjoying himself on stage. Soothing, exhilarating, foot tapping.....

Chris Vadala is a god, I played a gig with him on Friday!!

I run to this song all the time, its amazing when im tired and listen to this song i can keep on running

Wow..Chris Vadala...dang! Killin' it on soprano!!

Saw chuck mangione and band play at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco many years ago, about 1988. Very small audience in a super nice dinner club..if you wanted you could get up and dance on the floor in front of the band…. Excellent music…… those were the days

Oh yessss!!!!! I buy 2 records of chuck and got impressed!!!

In 1976 the NY All State choir sang that song with lyrics provided by his brother Gap. What a great time.

Most excellent!!!!! Us old heads stick together. I started playing kit in 1962, and discovered, and fell in love with "Hill Where The Lord Hides" when it first came out. I have been enamored with this mans music ever since. I particularly enjoy his use of dynamics, AND he ALWAYS surrounds himself with monster musicians, necessary to pull off his compositions!!!!!

Wooowwwwwww!!! Magia Pura, GRANDE SEÑOR MANGIONE, 🌿

Feel So Good was a HUGE HIT in the 70s. Played often on the airways. Mangione’s Live album recorded at the Hollywood Bowl was huge, too. I had that album, used to listen to Children of Sanchez ove r and over. I remember, back in the 70s, a network doing a Sunday highlights recap of all the NFL games played that day with Children of Sanchez playing in the background. How music can draw you back in time…..

Kiedyś w programie 2 telewizji polskiej można było zobaczyć takie perełki a dziś ….szkoda gadać 😢

The greatest Chuck Mangione - excitingly romantic, upbeat sounds of his.

Such a fantastic piece of music. So many memories....

Fenomenalne!

This song kicks ASS ALL DAY LONG! ❤

Me encanto volverla a escuchar esa musica hermosa.!!!!

good God, how can it get any better than this?

I can see there is a lot of question about who is playing with Chuck Mangione. Some names have come up, but here is the list: Bob Sneider guitar Chis Vadala saxofon Charles Ruggiero drums Tom Brigandi bass

サンチェスは大編成で演奏したことがありますが、小編成でもこんなに素晴らしい演奏ができるんですね。感動しました。

uwielbiałem ten znaczek "dwójki" do dziś mi się kojarzy mi się z wakacjami na wsi u babci i dziadka!!! O muzyce nawet nie wspomnę, bo co tu pisać....

So beautiful...

Had the opportunity to see Chuck Mangione in concert First half of the show was his HITS then after intermission the group came back to do the Children of Sanchez. OUTSTANDING!!! I went along with a number of professional musicians (I am Not) They were amazed at the composition and performance!!

It Gives me Goosebumps, just Amazing ! ! ! ! !

I love Chuck mangonie great memories!!!

wspaniały, without dreams of hope and pride, a man will die
