Customer Reviews of Land of Make Believe
Fair Early Mangione Recording!!!!!!! This album was recorded right after he got the idea to form a big jazz orchestra, while at Eastan School Of Music and drawn to be bop, rather than orchestral jazz. He was just starting out, but had some classics like Hill Where The Lord HIdes and Freddie's Walkin. Unfortunately, they don't appear here. But Legend OF The One Eyed Sailor and Land Of Make Believe do. They're the only good tracks on this cd. The others are a waste, and this is from a true Mangione fan. Chuck's albums didn't start to get good until around 1975. Alive was his only good early album. His early albums are all Live, which I hate, and are very experimental. I do enjoy listening to this album, dont get me wrong. But I'd rather be listening to something else!
From childhood to adulthood, this music is still magical
I first listened to "Land of Make Believe" as a child since my parents were fans of Chuck Mangione. I knew even then it was something special. A few months ago I found the CD and immediately bought it remembering how fantastic the music and vocals were. When I was driving my Mom home last week I played it for her and it brought her to tears. We both missed the beautiful music of this album and were glad to find it once again.
A pale shadow....
...of the recording on Mercury, circa 1972, of the quartet featuring Gerry Niewood on reeds and flute. This recording is out-of-print (I've been looking for it on CD for over 5 years)which is a crime because to true jazz fans - as opposed to syrupy pseudo jazz - every note on every cut is right on the money. The band cooks and both Chuck and Gerry are in a zone. Gerry left the band shortly after, my guess is he didn't want to go in the direction Chuck was taking.
Come on Mercury, reissue the Quartet recording! Let people hear what Chuck can really do.
