Geissman has explored bluesy territory since his early days recording and touring with flugelhorn great Chuck Mangione-an era highlighted by his now-iconic electric guitar solo on "Feels So Good," Mangione's 1978 mega-hit. The San Jose native was in his senior year at Cal State-Northridge majoring in classical guitar when a mutual friend recommended him for a gig with Mangione. The rest is a long, colorful history of touring and recording that culminated in Geissman's critically acclaimed recording Cool Man Cool (2009), which featured Mangione performing with jazz legend Chick Corea on the Geissman composition "Chuck and Chick."
