Grant Geissman: Cool Man Cool
by Woodrow Wilkins
There are throwbacks, and then there are throwbacks. Guitarist Grant Geissman takes us back to the era of cool--a visual image of nightclubs patronized by people wearing long shirts, dark glasses and berets. Geissman may be best known for his solo on “Feels So Good," the pioneering smooth jazz song that brought Chuck Mangione's ...

by John Kelman
He's back! Grant Geissman is perhaps best known as the guitarist whose solo on Chuck Mangione's 1977 hit “Feels So Good" elevated it, at least while it lasted, from pop/jazz confection to something more substantial. He has spent much of the ensuing years releasing albums that, despite being well-crafted, often veered too close for comfort to ...
