Children Of Sanchez 1978 Album

Chuck Mangione

This is surprisingly good and rewards repeat listenings. I've always dismissed Mangione as the corny "Feels so Good" guy, kind of the 70's version of Kenny G. But this double album soundtrack is fantastic. It's not difficult or avant-garde. But it's a very soulful, meditative, and uniquely interesting experience, that largely avoids the cliched sounds of "smooth jazz".
