Description
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, a New York label renowned for it's audiophile-quality recordings and for cutting it's 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. The album will be reissued in 2026 on SACD Hybrid Stereo and 180g One-step Pressing Vinyl LP as part of the Chesky Original Masters series.
