Mike
Mangione
Mike Mangione (born in Chicago and
now based in Milwaukee) creates
music that emphasizes tone - both
lyrically and instrumentally. Tenebrae,
the latest work by Mangione and
his band has received favorable
press from all corners of the country,
including the honor of being selected
as New York Magazine’s pick
of the week. The album marks

a
dénouement of sorts, the
culmination of a process that began
as a search for a subtle, organic,
yet dynamic and expressive sound.
