Career Overview

About Grant Geissman

Geissman’s official biography documents sixteen albums under his own name, including a later blues-centered release and a three-album jazz sequence. It also records his guitar solo on Chuck Mangione’s Feels So Good and extensive studio work with singers, composers, and large ensembles.[1]

The official site separates leader albums from television composition, including long-running scoring work for Two and a Half Men and Mike & Molly. Its full discography and media pages keep those screen credits distinct from Geissman’s small-group jazz records.[1][2]
