The NITESHIFT Tribute to Chuck Mangione
A Decade-by-Decade Celebration of a Jazz Icon
This week on NITESHIFT, we pay tribute to the late, great Chuck Mangione — the flugelhorn virtuoso whose signature sound helped define an era of jazz, pop, and crossover music.
In this special episode, we take a decade-by-decade journey through Mangione’s legendary career, from his early days as a composer and bandleader in the 1960s to the chart-topping heights of Feels So Good in the ‘70s, his Olympic-sized anthems in the ‘80s, and his return to intimate jazz in later years.
Featuring music highlights, rare versions, and reflections on his cultural impact, this episode honors the life and legacy of a true musical innovator who made the flugelhorn sing — not just as an instrument, but as a voice of feeling, joy, and connection.
Tune in for:
• Essential tracks & hidden gems
• Archival audio and live moments
• Cultural context & personal stories
• A sonic reminder of why his music still feels so good
Don’t miss this celebration of one of jazz’s most iconic and beloved artists
