David Grossman is a great player, great teacher, and all around great guy. His CDs are excellent, and he is even more amazing to listen to in person. I've been fortunate enough to go to a couple of his recitals and play in some masterclasses for him, and wow is all that can be said.
David Grossman has something incredibly rare, that everybody should listen to him for. He is one of the few orchestral players that isn't just a solid player but a musician and an artist. This is very rare for people who have gone as far as he did in the orchestra world. His musicality is amazing, and his knowledge is unmatched. But then again, when you take a composition, jazz piano, classical piano, jazz bass, and classical bass less every week through high school, that makes one hell of a musician.
Anybody who hasn't heard his CDs - buy them...If you haven't heard him play - next recital he gives go to it, and if there ever is a masterclass by him attend it and play in it if you can. I guarantee it will change you as a bassist and a musician.
