Inside MusiCast - Episode 43 (Grant Geissman)

Dont call Grant Geissmans music smooth jazz. Its almost a misnomer to him and doesnt really capture what his music is all about. Quite simply the jazz guitarist is a hybrid, learning jazz standards and improvisation from some serious jazz-cats in the San Jose, California area. As a formally trained guitarist, he has found success as an Emmy-winning composer having composed for network TV shows such as Monk, Dawsons Creek, Boy Meets World, Touched by an Angel, Lizzy McGuire and other TV shows. Most recently he collaborated to compose the theme for the sitcom Two And A Half Men. As a session player, youll find his guitar work on projects for Quincy Jones, Keiko Matsui, David Benoit, and Dianne Schur. But Geissman's window of opportunity opened in 1976, when flugelhornist Chuck Mangione added him to a short tour in California. The rest is history, as Geissman became part of Mangiones band and became famous for his sizzling solo on the song Feels So Good. Finally, as a solo artist with eleven projects under his belt, youll find his new jazz project Say That! addicting. Inside MusiCast is pleased to welcome Grant Geissman.
