Joe Gransden is a jazz trumpeter and vocalist.  He hails from New York, but has made a splash on the Atlanta Jazz scene with his straight ahead musical styling.  He's a local gem because he's able to wow the audience not only with his trumpet playing but also with his smooth vocal sounds.  His stage presence is reminiscent of a cross between Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra.  So whether you like your jazz "straight" with no chaser or "smooth" and groovy, Joe aims to please. 

We catch up with Joe and talk about his upcoming CD where he collaborates with Kenny G, shares his thoughts on the Atlanta jazz scene and finally Joe talks about the importance of ear training for new jazz musicians.
