Joe Gransden
Band leader Joe Gransden has performed worldwide and released 16 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.”
Robin Lattimore
Robin started singing as a little girl for devotion at her mother’s revival services and in church. She is no stranger to R & B, Rap, Country Western, and other alternative genres. She is heavily influenced by her idols Phyllis Hyman, Layla Hathaway, Oleta Adams, The Clark Sisters, Kim Burrell, Maysa, and Jennifer Holiday and has shared the stage with jazz greats Johnathan Butler, Rachelle Ferrell, Michael Franks, Phil Perry, and Jeff Lorber.
