SUMMARY:Award-Winning Trumpeter/Vocalist JOE GRANSDEN & Pianist/Composer KENNY BANKS
DESCRIPTION:TWO CONCERTS NIGHTLY ~ 6:30 PM and 9:00 PM\n \n \n \nJoe Gransden – Trumpeter/Vocalist\nJoe is a young man with an old soul and a classic voice.  He is a great new talent with a wonderful since of humor to boot.  And don’t forget\, he plays a hell of a trumpet! – Clint Eastwood\, Actor/Director\nAt 48 Years old\, Joe Gransden has already performed worldwide and released 14 CDs under his own name. Renowned first for the hard bop approach of his trumpet\, Gransden’s singing voice has been compared to that of Chet Baker and Frank Sinatra.  “When I first heard Joe nine years ago\, I immediately thought of Chet\,” says Jazziz magazine critic James Rozzi\, “but lately his voice has taken on its own style with a deeper resonance. His trumpet has always alternated lyricism with an aggressive\, angular approach. He has the ability to cover the gamut of emotions.”  Joe is from just north of Manhattan\, New York. Coming from a family full of musicians\, Joe’s introduction to music came early on through his father\, a gifted singer and pianist.  His grandfather was a trumpeter of merit\, playing professionally his whole life throughout New York. On his mother’s side of the family was the piano virtuoso Carmen Cavallero.\n“Music has been a part of my life as far back as I can remember\,” says the unassuming Joe Gransden. “I can remember practicing with my father\, and eventually him taking me along to sit in at jam sessions. Early on I developed a respect for individuals like my father whose lives revolved around music. While still in high school\, I knew that music was the life I would choose.”\nNot long after high school\, Joe was on the road as a sideman with the big bands of Tommy Dorsey and Glenn Miller. A number of A.F.M. contracted sideman gigs include Barry White\, The Moody Blues\, Kenny Rogers\, The Temptations\, Aretha Franklin\, The Whispers\, etc. Eventually moving to New York City\, he performed with numerous groups\, including sub work with Toshiko Akiyoshi and Chico O’Farrill at the famous Birdland Jazz Club. Meanwhile\, Joe formed his own group\, which performed in Brooklyn each week and included the venerable guitarist Joe Cohn and ex-Betty Carter bassist\, Matt Hughes. “Having my own group and being fortunate enough to travel\, play\, and record has been a dream come true\,” says Joe.\n“Exploring the music with a steady group of great players has enabled me to continually grow.” Joe Gransden growing legion of fans around the country have obviously taken note. In Atlanta\, where Joe plays steadily 5-6 nights a week in as many venues\, his loyal following includes an array of people from blue-collar workers to upper crust businessmen and businesswomen who all share a love of good music.  Like many developing jazzmen\, Gransden’s early influences\, which include Kenny Dorham and Miles Davis\, were easily recognizable in his playing throughout his formative years. “Emulating the jazz greats is always the very first step\,” says the historically-rooted Gransden. “But obviously\, in order to be true to myself—who I am\, what I believe in\, my family background—I need to have a sound that’s my own. It’s taken me until recently to hone in on that voice and explore its potential. One of the truly enjoyable things about my career has been finding that my audience appreciates my individual talents.”\nA widening schedule has found Joe performing the 1st and 3rd Mondays of every month at Café 290 in Atlanta w/his 16 Piece Big Band \, The Blue Note in New York City\, The Jazz Corner in Hilton Head SC\, The Ritz-Carlton at Reynolds Plantation W/Michael Fienstein\, The Museum of Art and Design in midtown Manhattan\, Spivey Hall in Atlanta\, Ga and Tehema Golf Club in Carmel\, California (where Joe plays occasional events for Clint Eastwood). Joe also released his cd “Close To My Heart” produced by Saxophone great Kenny G. The cd is a collection of smooth jazz covers and originals written by Joe and Kenny. His brand new project entitled “Songs of Sinatra & Friends” features Joe w/his 16 piece Big Band & Strings Celebrating the music of Frank Sinatra!  The CD and has been getting great reviews and lots of airplay around the country.\nKenny Banks – Jazz Pianist\n…composer\, arranger and performer who slips effortlessly among musical styles while retaining his own distinct sound. This Columbus Ohio native has been studying and playing since the age of seven. He first developed his gift through the church\, which led him to study music at Central State University. Following graduation\, Kenny taught vocal music in the Columbus Public Schools before pursuing his dreams by touring as a clinician\, keyboardist\, musical director and producer across the United States and in Europe. Kenny has appeared on BET and the Image Awards. He has performed at the inauguration for President Barack Obama and appeared in such notable places as Carnegie Hall in New York City and the Philharmonie in Berlin. Kenny has also appeared in movie scenes from Tyler Perry’s “The Family That Preys”and has a composition entitled “Hello Love” on the GMC movie “Raising Izzie”. Among his many high profile performing credits are appearances with Earl Klugh\, Kenny Garrett\, Wess Anderson\, Russell Gunn\, Lizz Wright\, Rene Marie\, Kevin Mahogany\, Kurt Whalum\, Albertina Walker\, Dorothy Norwood\, Jennifer Holiday\, Aretha Franklin and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Kenny received his Master’s degree in Jazz Studies at Georgia State University. He currently resides in Atlanta with his wife (Angelia) and three children (Kenny Jr.\, Sydney and Sasha).
