Long an underrated tenor saxophonist, Steve Grossman shows off the influences of both John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins on Katonah, a set recorded in Japan. Utilizing local players, Grossman explores four jazz standards from the 1950s plus a pair of his complex but swinging originals. Pianist Takehiro Honda proves to be an excellent chordal pianist while the rhythm section (with Hideo Kawahara and Yasushi Yoneki taking turns on bass) is subtle in support. Although no real surprises occur, the high musicianship and consistently creative ideas make this set (made available domestically at the time by Columbia) of strong interest to collectors of modern jazz. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide
Steve Grossman
Active Decades: '70s, '80s, '90s and '00s
Born: Jan 18, 1951 in New York, NY
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Post-Bop, Hard Bop
Although he started out playing in fusion-oriented settings, Steve Grossman developed into an excellent hard bop tenor in the tradition of Sonny Rollins (although he developed his own sound). Grossman originally started on alto when he was eight, added soprano at 15, and tenor at 16. He started at the top as Wayne Shorter's replacement with Miles Davis, playing in his fusion group from late 1969 up to September 1970. Grossman was with Lonnie Liston Smith in 1971, spent a valuable period (1971-1973) as part of Elvin Jones' group, and in the mid-'70s was with Gene Perla's Stone Alliance. Steve Grossman has mostly led his own bands ever since, recording as a leader for such labels as P.M., Owl, Red, and Dreyfus.
