I just read an obituary for Chuck Mangione. I always thought of him as a pop musician and jazz-adjacent at best. But it turns out he had serious jazz cred! Cannonball Adderley got him a record contract. He was a member of the Jazz Messengers in the 60s. Diz gave him an upturned-bell trumpet. Can't get more real than that.
