Don't Miss THE Most Happenin' Live Jazz in Atlanta
You've probably already noticed that every musical endeavor Joe Gransden embarks on is a success.  THE JAM SESSION at TWAIN'S on Tuesday nights is no exception!  Joe fronts an A-list band that quickly yields to the many talented artists in attendance.  Many of the sessions have been nothing short of a fabulous fireworks display of instrumental and vocal excellence with the creative synergies sometimes bordering on the telepathic.  Twain's is at 211 E. Trinity Place, Decatur, GA  30030.  NO COVER, FREE PARKING  www.twains.net

Kenny G Had A Special Guest at Chastain on June 25!
Joe has been applying his unique sound to some smooth tunes in connection with a recording produced by Kenny G and showcasing Joe as the featured artist.  Joe recently (June 25, 2008) performed a couple of tunes with Kenny G on the stage at Chastain Park Amphitheater including one tune called "Malibu" that will be on the recording.  It was a special evening indeed.
