Chuck Mangione

Everything for Love Chuck Mangione

The final album recorded by the late double-Grammy-winning Chuck Mangione, “Everything For Love,” was the flugelhorn maestro’s second outing for Chesky Records, the legendary New York label renowned for its audiophile-quality recordings and for cutting its artists live in what producer David Chesky described as “reverberant spaces” using a single microphone. Recorded in St. Peter’s Church, Chelsea, New York, in 2000, “Everything For Love” reunited Mangione with some of the musicians who had played with him in the ‘70s - saxophonist/flutist Gerry Niewood, guitarist Grant Geissman, and bassist Charles Meeks – and featured mostly original material. Highlights include “Peggy Hill,” which Mangione composed for the animated sitcom “King Of The Hill”; “Slo Ro,” a portrait of Mangione’s wife Rosie; and the album’s only cover, a soulful, gospel-tinged rendition of the hymn “Amazing Grace,” where Mangione takes the listener to church. “Everything For Love” is a fitting musical epitaph for Mangione, who died in 2025.

Evosound is pleased to now present “Everything For Love” as a hybrid SACD with outstanding sound quality. This fusion-jazz gem is a prime example of Chesky Records’ groundbreaking binaural 3D recording technology. We recommend the use of "L'Art du Son" CD/DVD conditioner for even more sonic improvement.
