Mangan is an extremely unconventional organist and has become renown for his pioneering approach to the Hammond B3 Organ. Mike has drawn the attention of many of the instrument's great luminaries, including Keith Emerson (Emerson, Lake, and Palmer), Gregg Rollie (Santana), Brian Auger (Oblivion Express), Melvin Seals (Jerry Garcia Band), and Tony Monaco (Tony Monaco Trio)... ..Mangan is influenced just as much by electric guitar players as he is by other keyboardists, and this has shaped his unique approach to the Hammond Organ. Through a unique method of tonal manipulation, Mangan often simulates the power and tonality of an electric guitar through the Hammond, often leading to comparisons with rock power trios instead of jazz organ trios In fact, jambands.com remarked, "This isn't your standard jazz organ trio", and since its inception, Mike Mangan's Big Organ Trio has emerged as a band with a truly unique voice. Mangan's trio's acclaimed debut CD was released in 2006 and has led to thousands of music and merchandise sales in addition to concerts across the U.S. and internationally... ..Mangan's debut album landed his trio a feature in Keyboard Magazine, a record deal with P-Vine Records, and a subsequent tour of Japan. Mangan has also lead his trio on national tours of the states... .... ..Mike Mangan has also shared the stage with a variety of artists, including:.. ..Keith Emerson (Emerson, Lake, & Palmer).. ..Robby Krieger (The Doors).. ..Leo Nocentelli (The Meters).. ..Melvin Seals and Jerry Garcia Band.. ..Dr. Lonnie Smith.. ..Marc Ford (The Black Crowes).. ..Mike Clark/Paul Jackson (The Headhunters).. ..Robben Ford (Miles Davis).. ..Stanton Moore (Galactic).. ..Umphrey's McGee.. ..Steve Molitz (Phil Lesh & Friends, Particle, Mickey Hart)?.. ..Karl Denson (The Greyboy Allstars, Lenny Kravitz)?.. ..John Gros (Papa Grows Funk).. ..Benevento-Russo Duo.. ..The New Mastersounds.. ..Will Bernard (Stanton Moore, Robert Walter's 20th).. ..Neal Evans, Toussaint (Soulive).. ..David Pastorius.. ..Particle.. ..Dub Trio.. .. .. ....REVIEWS:...... .."Mike Mangan's Hammond playing is lithe, percussive, greasy, and searing, encompassing elements ranging from Latin to hip-hop, straight-up rock to classic jazz." - Mike Gallant - Keyboard Magazine.. .. - ....Keyboard Magazine - Unsigned Artist of the Month.... .... .."Mike Mangan's Big Organ Trio is about deep B3 Funk Rock grooves with a Jam Band sensibility. There’s improvisation all over this CD, but this is more rock than jazz, more funk than blues...If you like your organ to rock and funk you (think MMW, Azymuth, Niacin), then check this disc out.".. .. - ....ContemporaryJazz.com - CD Review.... .... .."Cool sound. I always considered my (organ) solos as guitar or maybe horn sections with some organ thrown in, which is not the usual approach. I think Mike Mangan and Big Organ Trio may have taken that same idea a step further.".. .. - ..Gregg Rolie (Santana).. .... .."I love the new direction Mike Mangan is taking the Hammond organ.".. .. - ..Melvin Seals (Jerry Garcia Band).. .... .."Taking a fresh approach to his music, Mangan's trio fuses jazz, hip-hop, Latin, electronica and more for a sound that is the very definition of funky. Walking bass lines and intricate organ solos add to the excitement of this band's jam-tastic sound.".. .. - ..Vail Daily News.. .... .."A Hammond B3 Organ, a bass, and drums is enough to provide you with a wall of sound, which Mike Mangan's Big Organ Trio provides you in spades. Mangan's instrumental pieces bring as much power, range, and tone that any band with a lead singer could, their music is nuanced enough to where you don’t even notice the lack of lyrics. ".. .. - ....JamBandNews.... .... .."(Mike Mangan's BOT) creates soundscapes that diverge from the traditional norm, coalescing with both grace and power, producing sonically saturated textures seemingly too full to be played by just three musicians. This isn’t your standard jazz trio.".. .. - ....Jambands.com (Interview).... ...... ....Mike Mangan's BIG ORGAN TRIO HAS PLAYED SHOWS WITH:...... Leo Nocentelli (The Meters)..
