Although he started out playing in fusion-oriented settings, Steve Grossman developed into an splendid hard bop tenor in the tradition of Sonny Rollins (although he developed his own intelligent). Grossman to begin with started on alto when he was ashcan School, added soprano at 15, and tenor at 16. He started at the big top as Wayne Shorter's replacement with Miles Davis, playing in his fusion chemical group from late 1969 up to September 1970. Grossman was with Lonnie Liston Smith in 1971, spent a worthful period (1971-1973) as part of Elvin Jones' mathematical group, and in the mid-'70s was with Gene Perla's Stone Alliance. Steve Grossman has for the most part lED his possess bands ever since, recording as a loss leader for such labels as P.M., Owl, Red, and Dreyfus.
