what made him a genius in my opinion is he was a master of crafting music that could be played in many ways and still translate, you could play this song in a reggae style, funk style, latin style, soul, hell even country anything and it would translate remarkably

I like a zany jazz guy. Not just a normal cool cat but that guy who had a personality to back it up.
This is like, the mold for Hawaiin shirt trumpet players the world over and on top of that a real talent with the flugelhorn.
RIP buddy, this week will hopefully end without another passing.

This hits hard because when I was a broke college student in 2005 and an MPC 1000 his records were so cheap to buy and sample. No matter where the needle dropped it was sample worthy.
RIP Chuck

I grew up in Rochester NY, Chuck’s hometown. His niece Ardis Mangione was my high school history teacher (Gap Mangione’s daughter).
RIP to a true local legend.
