Gap Mangione - Diana In The Autumn Wind (LP)

Originally released in 1968, Diana In The Autumn Wind stands as a remarkable piece of jazz history — serving as both Gap Mangione's debut as a bandleader and the very first recordings of two legendary musicians, drummer Steve Gadd and bassist Tony Levin. With arrangements by Gap's brother Chuck Mangione, the album weaves together crisp jazz standards and soulful interpretations, including a piano-driven take on The Beatles' "Yesterday" and a closing medley featuring "Scarborough Fair," "The Sounds of Silence," and "Mrs. Robinson."

Now available for the first time on vinyl since its original release, this 2026 reissue of Diana In The Autumn Wind was produced with the full participation of Gap Mangione himself, and comes presented in a tip-on sleeve with a two-page insert — a fitting package for an album that deserves to be heard in the warmth of analog sound. For fans of jazz, soul, and funk with a deep appreciation for musical history, this is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully crafted piece from the early careers of some of the genre's most celebrated names.
