''Known for his harmonic sophistication and hooky pop- and R&B-influenced grooves, keyboardist Tom Grant is regarded as one of the main progenitors of the contemporary smooth jazz sound. An Oregon native, Grant first made waves in the late '70s playing with luminaries like Charles Lloyd, Joe Henderson, and Tony Williams before launching his own lucrative solo career...'
