Artist: Chuck Mangione

Title: Bellavia

Date: 1975

Label: A & M Records   SP-4557

Art Direction: Roland Young

Photography: Harry Mittman

Notes: A nice album played live in the studio without any overdubs or corrections. Dedicated to his parents, Chuck is the result of the support they have given him and his music all along his career. This feels a little bigger than his usual sound, mostly through the addition of the orchestra, but also because of the arrangement of some of the material. If you like Chuck, you'll like this. Very "deco" feels to the cover and photos too.
