FEELS SO GOOD is the popular breakthrough album for flugelhorn player and composer Chuck Mangione. His early `70's style was melodic, bright, and engaging, but 1977's FEELS SO GOOD was the disc that brought Mangione to big-selling popular acceptance. This disc has stood the test of time, with its creative ensemble playing full of delicacy and restraint, tasty solos (especially from guitarist Grant Geissman), and easygoing rhythms.
Due to the title cut, this was a huge seller when it originally came out. Reissued on CD, this set from flügelhornist Chuck Mangione (which helped give guitarist Grant Geissman some fame) is actually stronger from the jazz standpoint than Mangione's subsequent dates. The leader has some good solos, as does Geissman and saxophonist Chris Vadala, and the quintet's ensembles are generally both sparse and attractive. Pity that in ways this was Chuck Mangione's last worthwhile release to date; success did stunt his artistic growth. ~ Scott Yanow Chuck Mangione Feels So Good Songs Feels So Good Music Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   It feels better than good!

 Superb jazz!
Great tunes,Chuck's horn playing is simple yet soulful,there's even that high note on on the intro to "feels so good" that is a bit off,but who cares,it's cool, soulful jazz music and it feels so good!Guitarist Grant Geissman's guitar solo on feels so good,in my heart,is the most beautiful pop jazz guitar solo ever recorded, period.I'd give it a 10,if there was a 10,just for the title track.

U2's Bono might not have done Abdel Wright any favors by calling him the "most important Jamaican artist since Bob Marley," a comparison that is almost impossible to live up to, but Wright does have a distinct Marley-like feel for writing weighty, relevant songs that retain a certain Jamaican lilt even as they explore pop, folk, and country territory. Wright sounds a bit like a folk troubadour on this debut album, with his omnipresent acoustic guitar and harmonica (he also played piano, drums, and flute on these sessions) and a definite rebel's agenda as he tackles songs dealing with political and religious hypocrisy, government oppression, the high cost of health care, and the numbing effects of poverty, lack of housing and education on the island's underprivileged. That Wright takes on these kinds of issues (sounding at times like a Jamaican version of Tracy Chapman) and still manages to produce songs that have enough pop DNA to sit well on the radio is why Bono's prediction just might prove accurate. Among the highlights here are the opening track, "Quicksand," the vibrant "Loose Me Now," the violin-fueled "Dust Under Carpet," and "Human Behavior," which tackles the issue of healthcare for profit. "Paul Bogle" is another striking track, an almost straight-on country ballad complete with steel guitar that tells the story of Paul Bogle, a Jamaican national hero who was hanged in 1865 for his oppositional beliefs concerning the then British-controlled government. One could almost imagine Johnny Cash singing ...

Feels So Good
$9.55
Recording information: Necrodeath Studios (2001-2002).
Taking into account the musical and lyrical refinement that would characterize their still quite vicious but intellectually esoteric sophomore album, The Chronovisor, the self-titled debut from Birmingham's Mistress seemed a comparatively brute, unwaveringly rough-hewn exercise in inaccessible sonic warfare. And yet, its intentionally unpalatable creations already contained barely disguised clues of the band's altogether more complex intentions, and thereby far exceeded most rote sludgecore albums by a country mile. Of course the term "sludgecore" itself is only one of many that could be assigned to Mistress' always oppressive but varied style -- a style that owes as much to British grindcore heavyweights Napalm Death (see the excoriating outbursts "God of Rock" and "DVDA") and hardcore heavies Discharge ("Stunt Cock") as it does to feedback-loving Americans Cavity (observe the tortured gasps of "Goatboy" and "5th in Line"). And while some malformed tracks (the unremarkable "Bludgeon" and ...
