[278x400]Steve Grossman (born January 18, 1951 in New York City) is a jazz saxophonist who started in jazz fusion, but is most known for hard bop.He began with alto saxophone at eight, added soprano at 15, and by age 16 could also play tenor. His professional career began in 1969 as Wayne Shorter's replacement in Miles Davis' jazz-fusion band. His soprano sax work on Miles at Filmore marks him out as one of the most original practitioners of that instrument. In that capacity he played soprano sax on Miles's A Tribute to Jack Johnson.
From 1971–1973 he was in Elvin Jones's band. In 1975 he played along with percussionist Don Alias in bassist Gene Perla's "Stone Alliance." Since the 1970s he's led his own groups including the "Steve Grossman Trio."
STEVE GROSSMAN was born in New York City on January 18, 1951.When Wayne Shorter left the Miles Davis band in 1969, his place was taken by 18 year old, Grossman.Initially the teenager was much criticized, yet his fresh approach and an emotional intensity beyond his years added much to the band. Grossman studied saxophone with his brother, starting on alto, moving to soprano and tenor by 1968.
He played with a number of groups including the Jazz Samaritans, with George Cables and Lenny White before joining Davis and recording his first sessions.During the 70s Grossman played with Lonnie Liston Smith and in Elvin Jones' group and in 1975 founded the Stone Alliance with Gene Perla. Since 1991, Grossman has completed a handful of top-notch albums for Dreyfus Records.
His most recent recordings prior to Quartet are a live trio date from 1989, “Bouncing with Mr. A. T.”, released as a tribute to the late drummer Art Taylor, “Time to Smile”, a 1993 studio date bedrocked by Elvin Jones; and the wholly spectacular “In New York”, taken from a 1991 club stay that featured Taylor on drums and McCoy Tyner on piano.Presently shuttling between Italy and France, Steve Grossman is in the full flower of his artistic maturity.Potent display of the saxophonist's heartfelt playing and improvisatory genius are found on his recent sides, “Steve Grossman Quartet Featuring Michel Petrucciani” and “Steve Grossman/Johnny Griffin Quintet”.(http://hororecords.blogspot.com/2010/01/jazz-confronto-23-steve-grossman-hll.html)
