Editorial review
Grant Geissman negotiates and delivers a world class joint venture on his hit CD, Business as Usual. With arrangements for electric, electrical classical, classical, string acoustic and acoustic guitar on 12 tunes written by Grant, it's no wonder Geissman fans continue to be amazed by his brilliant string virtuosity. The title track opens the set with a high-energy stratocaster solo by Geissman with Sam Riney wailing on alto saxophone. "Chase The Dragon" features a funky dance-oriented rhythm, while "Gypsies" adds a Latin perspective to the set with Grant on classical and acoustic guitar. The exotic harmony of electric sitar with acoustic guitar (with tabla by Brad Dutz) on "India" adds another dimension to the Geissman string instrument collection. "Quiet Time" is pensive and portentous of the "smooth" guitar work that follows on "Tears Like Rain" -- unlike the more organic flavor of Rustic Technology. Grant Geissman is truly a world-class string virtuoso with global appeal and a command of his instruments. This CD lends the listener an "around the world" feeling and welcomes you back home to Business as Usual. ~ Paula Edelstein, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
A popular contemporary jazz recording artist in his own right, Grant's previous four releases have all been in the Top 10 on the national airplay charts. Two of these albums, Flying Colors and Time Will Tell, rose to the #1 position on the Gavin, MAC, and Radio and Records charts!
On Business As Usual, his tenth solo album and the first for Positive Music, Grant makes a triumphant return to musical expression on the electric guitar, after concentrating solely on acoustic treatments for his last four albums. Says Grant, "I found that I missed the snap and funky quality that I can get out of the electric guitar. I haven't abandoned the acoustic but on this album, I allowed myself to pick the most appropriate instrument for each song."
Business As Usual, the album's title track, proves that Grant hasn't lost either his lightning-fast touch or his ability to create memorable jazz/pop structures.
