Main Squeeze is the fifth, all instrumental studio album by jazz flugelhorn player Chuck Mangione. The album was only briefly released on Compact Disc in the late 80's but discontinued not long after, making it for many years a rare find. However, it was finally reissued in 2018 as part of a budget five original albums set. It features one of Chuck Mangione's most popular songs, "Main Squeeze" and a supporting cast of several of NYC's finest sessions musicians of the day.
