Chuck is the younger son of two born to Italian-American parents; his older brother is Gap Mangione, with whom he started a band, called Jazz Brothers, and performed with him in the early ‘60s, before he ventured out on his own. Chuck went to the Eastman School of Music, and matriculated in 1963, after which he joined Art Barkley and his band Art Barkley’s Jazz Messengers, playing the trumpet. He stayed in the band for two albums, “Hold On, I’m Coming” (1965), and “Buttercorn Lady” (1966), which was a good start to his net worth.

Around the same time Chuck was involved with the Eastman Jazz Ensemble from 1968 to 1972, serving as their director, which also added to his net worth.
