Now that I finally received some mulit-disc cases from Bags Unlimited (www.bagsunlimited.com) I've started to do my own box sets. I've never really cared for the A&M collections on Mangione (too "pop", not enough jazz), so I put together a 2-disc set. I did just studio stuff, no live recordings.
DISC 1
Feels So Good
Song Of The New Moon
Echano
If You Know Me Any Longer (Than Tomorrow)
Bellavia
Hide And Seek
I Get Crazy (When Your Eyes Touch Mine)
Torreano
Recuerdo
Chase The Clouds Away
DISC 2
Children Of Sanchez Overture
Give It All You Got
The XIth Commandment
The Day After (Our First Night Together)
Listen To The Wind
Cannonball Run Theme
Doin' Everything With You
Main Squeeze
Maui-Waui
Fun And Games
For me, this represents the better Mangione horn solos, as well as compositions. I've been messing with my own mix of "Children Of Sanchez", but haven't quite got it right yet. I also wanted to get "70 Miles Young" in there, but it's a long suite, and when taking the individual movements by themselves it just doesn't sound right. But I have his better version from Alive! on CD already, so I did without.
Now it's time to work on the Maynard Ferguson MF Horn series!
