Chuck Mangione Band members die in plane crash

Two members of the Chuck Magione Band, saxaphonost Gerry Niewood and guitarist Coleman Mellett, were killed when a Continental Airlines commuter plane Flight 3407 crashed into a house Buffalo, NY Thursday night.

I meant to post this yesterday but IndabaMusic was "tuning up".

This video shows them performing "Feels So Good"

RIP and Jam On, you are in good company.

This is really sad. Gerry could play all sorts of horns and he did with the likes of Thad Jones and Mel Lewis, Ms. Peggy Lee, Frank Sinatra, even Simon and Garfunkel and one of my favorite Bari-sax players Gerry Mulligan. I have met Coleman through the Manhattan School of Music. He was a very nice guy and it is a shame to loose him at such a young age. Thanx for sharing all your music with us and rest in peace.
