Product Description On Cool Man Cool, the stunning follow-up to Say That!, jazz guitarist Grant Geissman takes you places you might not expect to go, but the destination is always cool, man, cool. With cool special guests including Chick Corea, Chuck Mangione, Tom Scott, Jerry Hahn, Russell Ferrante, Patrice Rushen, and Van Dyke Parks. Packaged in a custom gatefold Mini LP-style cover, and featuring artwork by beat/outsider artist Miles Thompson.'From scorching bebop to Latin jazz romp, from poignant ballad to jaunty Hot Club of France tribute, with touches of calypso, second line grooves, shuffle blues, greasy organ-fueled funk and '50s-styled exotica along the way, Cool Man Cool stands as Grant Geissman's most eclectic and gratifying outing to date.' - from the liner notes by Bill Milkowski.

CD ReviewsThis record is no Quiet Storm Edwin M. Hinckley | South Jordan, UT USA | 05/30/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "In recent years, most new Jazz records have put me to sleep, Loop backed nothingness. "Cool Man Cool", like Mr. Geissman's last record continues his saying enough is enough of trying to make "Jazz" records based on what may seem to be expected, just to get airplay. With those conventions being cast aside, you have one of the best new jazz albums I have heard in years. It feels like they had a great time making the record, and it plays great from track to track. Featuring many great guest artists,"Cool Man Cool" would have been just fine with Mr. Geissman's smooth and always "seemingly" effortless playing (I know it is not effortless, it just always sounds like it is) The tracks are well written, with just enough curve balls thrown at you to keep the listener on his toes. A great record, and a great signal, that the Jazz Nightmare, some have called the Quiet Storm is finally coming to an end." Great new Geissman CD! N. J. Karin | Richland, WA | 09/23/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I've been a fan of Grant Geissman's for years and really enjoyed his previous CD, Say That, which was much more cool/bepop than his previous solo recordings. Cool Man Cool is another CD with a strong flavor of cool jazz from the 50's. Grant's playing -- and writing -- is in top form here, and while he has his own style there are unmistakable winks and nods to the styles of guitar legends like Kenny Burrell, Jim Hall, Wes Montgomery and even Django Reinhardt. As always, Mr. Geissman has a killer backup band and, as an added treat there are guest appearances by Chuck Mangione and Chick Corea. This is a joyful performance from start to finish. Very highly recommended!" Grant is cool... Rory S. Snyder | Lafayette, CA | 06/09/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "This CD is great, and shows Grant's new found straight ahead chops for playing and composing. Great producing with guest artists including Chick Corea, Russel Ferrante, Tom Scott and Chuck Mangione. I think it's his best CD to date, so get one......"
