Guitarist/composer Grant Geissman is a noted Hollywood session player as well as a solo recording artist. Geissman's trademark over the course of his many solo recordings - from the mainstream jazz ofGood Stuffin 1978 (Concord Jazz) to 1998's acid jazz/hybridIn With the Out Crowd(Higher Octave) - has been applying his formidable guitaristic virtuosity to his melodically strong, signature compositions.Geissman co-wrote the Emmy-nominated theme (and also co-writes the underscore) for the hit CBS-TV seriesTwo and a Half Men. As a much in-demand studio musician, he has recorded with such artists as Quincy Jones, Chuck Mangione (playing the now-classic guitar solo on the 1978 hitFeels So Good), Lorraine Feather, Cheryl Bentyne, Van Dyke Parks, Ringo Starr, Gordon Goodwin's Big Phat Band, Joanna Newsom, Inara George, Burt Bacharach and Elvis Costello. He has also played on the scores for such TV shows asMonk(playing the Django Reinhardt-style acoustic guitar solo on the theme) andDawson's Creek.
