Many readers have left moving personal stories about Gerry Niewood in the comments section of my previous post. I encourage you to read them and learn more about this wonderful musician and human being.
Gap Mangione passed along this video featuring Chuck Mangione, Gerry Niewood, Chip Jackson and Joe Labarbera in the mid-70s in Monterey, CA. My thanks and sincere condolences go out to Gap and the Mangione family.
