Charles Frank Mangione was born in Rochester, New York, on November 29, 1940. His formal introduction to music began with piano lessons at age eight. Two years later he began trumpet lessons. During his early years, a major influence on his life and music was the love and warmth of his parents. They were “totally committed to their children.” His album Bellavia (on A&M), is dedicated to his parents. The commitment of Chuck’s father proved to be the catalyst for some amazing experiences. Since his sons were interested in music, Chuck’s dad would take them to many concerts and local clubs.
A list of those who dined and played in the Mangione living room reads like a who’s who of jazz in the fifties: Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, Kai Winding, Jimmy Cobb, Sam Jones, Junior Mance, Cannonball Adderley, Ronnie Zito, and Ron Carter. During these weekly (and sometimes nightly) sessions, Chuck’s mother would cook for all. One of Chuck’s favorite stories tells of a time when he telephoned home saying, “Mom, I’m bringing home 35 orchestra players for dinner in ten minutes.” “Fine,” she replied, and when they arrived dinner was ready!
Of all the musicians to play at the Mangione home, certainly the most influential was Gillespie. Chuck states: “I regard him as being my musical father.” When Chuck was only 15 years old, Dizzy was so impressed with Chuck’s playing that he gave him one of his up swept horns.
