Steven Mark Grossman (January 18, 1951 – August 13, 2020) was an American jazz fusion and hard bop saxophonist.[1]

Grossman was Wayne Shorter's replacement in Miles Davis's jazz-fusion band.[2] He played with Chick Corea on the album "The Sun" in 1970, then, from 1971 to 1973, he was in Elvin Jones's band.[2]

In the late 1970s, he was part of the Stone Alliance trio with percussionist Don Alias and bassist Gene Perla.[2] The group released four albums during this period, including one featuring Brazilian trumpeter Márcio Montarroyos. The albums also feature an array of other musicians. They went on to release three live reunion albums during the 2000s.[3]
