  • Bio

    The Chuck Manning Quartet 's new TCB (The Montreux Jazz Label) CD "Notes from the Real" was released in 2008. It features Jim Szilagyi on piano, Isla Eckinger on bass and Tim Pleasant on drums. The quartet will be doing gigs in Europe and North America to promote it. Chuck is one of the busiest jazz saxophonists in Southern California. He has been performing and recording for the past twenty-five years with many local ensembles and jazz artists in the L.A. area, across the country and in Europe. He is a long time member of the Los Angeles Jazz Quartet and co-leader of the Eckinger-Manning Quintet. The Chuck Manning Quartet was recently featured on National Public Radio’s "Jazz Set with Branford Marsalis". Chuck has recently recorded with drummer Alphonse Mouzon, and is a regular member of the Bobby Bradford Mo’tet, the Sal Marquez quintet and others. _____________________________________________________________ “Essential listening for any local jazz listener. Manning is a fine inventive tenor player. With Joe Henderson as his baseline, he plays a gorgeous ballad, can blow some brilliant and slightly understated post-bop frenzy, and can lay out the bop lines fresh. His band is a great one, with Jim Szilagyi often matching him idea for idea. Drummer Tim Pleasant’s understated tapping and tippling and cymbal washes defy the written word. And this quartet’s unreleased album, Manning debut as a leader, is a great one.” - Brick Wahl, LAWeekly, December 22, 2006. ........ ..You should create your own ..MySpace Layouts.. like me by using ..nUCLEArcENTURy...COM's ..MySpace Profile Editor..!.. ........ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

    Sending SATURDAY LOVE Chuck!
     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT THE SOUL ...

    "TRUE INTIMACY is the opening of ONE SOUL to

    another. No GIFT ON EARTH could COMPARE with it,

    for it TOUCHES US MORE PROFOUNDLY than our

    imagination can envision. When two people SHARE

    THEIR LIVES, FREELY, OPENLY, WITHOUT

    RESERVATION, it is as if EACH had BECOME

    COMPLETE ..."

     ~ Robert Sexton.

    Think you can HOLD BACK TIME Chuck?

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT TIME ...

    "TIME is infinitely more precious than MONEY, and there is

    nothing common between them. You cannot ACCUMULATE

    TIME; you cannot BORROW TIME; you can never tell

    how much TIME YOU HAVE LEFT in the BANK OF LIFE.

    TIME IS LIFE ...."

    ~ Israel Davidson

    MINUTES ARE WORTH MORE THAN MONEY.

    SPEND THEM WISELY!

    WHAT WILL YOU DO WITH THIS PRECIOUS TREASURE?

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Give the man some RESPECT Chuck!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS THE HUMOR OF RODNEY DANGERFIELD ...

    "I tell ya when I was a kid, all I knew was rejection. My yo-yo, it never came back!"

    "When I was a kid I got no respect. The time I was kidnapped, and the kidnappers sent my parents a note they said, "We want five thousand dollars or you'll see your kid again."

    "Last week I saw my psychiatrist. I told him, "Doc, I keep thinking I'm a dog." He told me to get off his couch."

    "One night I came home. I figured, let my wife come on. I'll play it cool. Let her make the first move. She went to Florida."

    "I asked my old man if I could go ice-skating on the lake. He told me, "Wait til it gets warmer."

    "I was so ugly as a kid, my mother had morning sickness AFTER I was born."

    "A hooker once told me she had a headache."

    ~ Rodney Dangerfield

    A DAY WITHOUT LAUGHTER IS A DAY WASTED!

    Have a GREAT WEEKEND Chuck!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT INSPIRATION ...

    "It is not the CRITIC who counts;
    not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled
    or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.

    The credit belongs to the man
    who is actually IN THE ARENA,
    whose face is marred by DUST and SWEAT and BLOOD;
    who strives valiantly;
    who errs and COMES UP SHORT again and again;
    who knows great enthusiasms,
    the great devotions;
    who SPENDS HIMSELF in a WORTHY CAUSE;
    who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
    and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while
    DARING GREATLY

    so that his place shall never be
    with those COLD TIMID SOULS
    WHO KNOW NEITHER VICTORY OR DEFEAT."

    ~ Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President Of The United States

    DON'T BE ONE OF THE COLD TIMID SOULS WHO SIT ON THE SIDELINES IN LIFE AND CRITICIZE THOSE WHO ARE ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING!  GET INTO THE GAME!

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS FROM DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR ...

    "I HAVE A DREAM that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL.'

    I HAVE A DREAM that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to SIT TOGETHER AT THE TABLE OF BROTHERHOOD.

    I HAVE A DREAM that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the COLOR OF THEIR SKIN but by the CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER.

    I HAVE A DREAM TODAY."

    ~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

    WE CELEBRATE THE LIFE AND THE LEGACY OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.

    HELP KEEP DR. KING'S DREAM ALIVE!
