Cool Man Cool

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 in a custom gatefold Mini LP CD packaging, with 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
