Saw him live many times. My favorite is "Hill Where The Lord Hides" from Friends and Love. Prayers up for his family.

People were saying Hulk was the third of the three who would go. Chuck is #4, so that blows that theory.

Love his Alive album, came out the year I graduated high school. He was letting the instrument tell the story instead of showing off. RIP friend.

I always thought he was from Buffalo, 90 miles away.

RIP Chuck.

I remember his “Give It All You’ve Got,” the theme of the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, New York.

Saw him several times and even met him. He was great horn player but a bit of a weird dude. RIP

Saw him at our local jazz club here in Dayton,OH during his “Feels So Good,” tour.

So very, very long ago...but recall I enjoyed his set.

RIP...

I was a big drum and bugle corps guy, and we listened to his music obsessively in the mid-late Seventies.

Thank you, Chuck. RIP.

I was a fan of Chuck's music in college (1974). As a trumpet player, I really admired his skill with the fluegelhorn. Just prior to my cancer diagnosis, I purchased a fluegelhorn and the sheet music for "Feels so Good". I hope my lungs can still handle playing it after prolonged pneumonia. Chuck's work was always an inspiration.

I had several of his albums, saw him live and even had the T-shirt to prove it.

I used one of his songs (Hide and Seek https://youtu.be/3IbGbkfHb-E?si=XsWU5s-ZPN2DD6UE) as background for a high school film project.

RIP. For a while, the jazz station I listen to online would play “Give It All You Got” near the end of the business day and I found that nice and uplifting.

This is scary. So many younger than me are dead. Most of my friends are dead. I am still going strong at age 85. But this type of news is scary.
