In 2011,
SuperBird
combined
Chuck Mangione
's
Journey to a Rainbow
and
Eyes of the Veiled Temptress
, two of the fluegelhornist's '80s sets for
Columbia
. Three years later,
Beat Goes On
bundled three other recordings released during the same era on the same label:
Love Notes
(1982),
Disguise
(1984), and
Save Tonight for Me
(1986). All three offer poor to middling material from
Mangione
. They rarely reach the same level of vibrant energy heard on his more successful late-'70s and early-'80s albums for the
A&M
label. ~ Andy Kellman
