Good Luck, Chuck
Recently the New York-based flugelhorn player, Chuck Mangione, was in the news for the wrong reasons: when Continental Connection flight 3407 crashed into a Buffalo, NY home last February, two of his band members — saxophonist Gerry Niewood and guitarist Coleman Mellett — perished along with another 48 people. In response to the accident, Mangione wrote on his website that he is “grieving and praying with their families and friends.”
