Chuck Mangione – Everything For Love [One-Step] (Vinil 180g, LP)

The final album recorded by the late double-Grammy-winning Chuck Mangione, “Everything For Love,” was the flugelhorn maestro’s second outing for Chesky Records, the legendary New York label renowned for its audiophile-quality recordings and for cutting its artists live in what producer David Chesky described as “reverberant spaces” using a single microphone. Recorded in St. Peter’s Church, Chelsea, New York, in 2000, “Everything For Love” reunited Mangione with some of the musicians who had played with him in the ‘70s – saxophonist/flutist Gerry Niewood, guitarist Grant Geissman, and bassist Charles Meeks – and featured mostly original material. Highlights include
“Peggy Hill,” which Mangione composed for the animated sitcom “King Of The Hill”; “Slo Ro,” a portrait of Mangione’s wife Rosie; and the album’s only cover, a soulful, gospel-tinged rendition of the hymn “Amazing Grace,” where Mangione takes the listener to church. “Everything For Love” is a fitting musical epitaph for Mangione, who died in 2025.

Evosound presents “Everything For Love” as part of the Chesky Original Masters Series – pressed on 180-gram vinyl using the sonically superior One-Step process and cut at 33 RPM.
