This somewhat was my experience as well. I was 13 in 1978 when Feels So Good was released as a single, and a trumpet player in the middle school band. This specific track caught my ear like nothing else that I'd heard previously, instrumentally. And it inspired me to improve my chops through 10th grade, which advanced me to 1st chair trumpet in the school band. Then (living in Germany) I discovered bier, and arrogantly decided I didn't like the band teacher, so gave up playing altogether. But Mangione initiated my interest in further exploring "real" jazz trumpeters that came before him, which then led to an overall exploration of jazz which has continued to this day. So thanks for being the gateway, Chuck. Rest in Peace. -

I like what you say here. The whole Black Sabbath gimic with the devil worshipping, wearing crosses, etc., was all part of the show. None of them were really into it and was part of the act. Outside of that, they were all just a bunch of blokes from Birmingham that were on the ride of their lives. -

Saw an interesting focused exhibit (in Montreal) on Berthe Weill who was an important art dealer in Paris who helped launch the careers of Picasso and Modigliani, among others. The exhibit features many of the paintings that passed through her gallery. https://www.mbam.qc.ca/en/exhibitions/berthe-weill/ The exhibit runs through Sept. 7 or so in Montreal and then heads over to Paris this fall. Here in Toronto there is a new exhibit at the AGO on Joyce Wieland. https://ago.ca/exhibitions/joyce-wieland-heart There is also a very focused exhibit of woodblock prints by Naoko Matsubara, which just opened at the AGO. https://ago.ca/exhibitions/naoko-matsubara I haven't managed to get over there yet to see it, but I will in the next week or so.
