Joe Gransden to perform at Centennial HS | Arts & Culture

ROSWELL, Ga. -- One of today's hottest names in jazz will give a concert at Centennial High School next month.

Joe Gransden and his 16-piece band will swing into Roswell at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Mar. 20.

"Joe's big band has quickly become one of the busiest groups on the jazz scene," Rob Sayer, owner of The Music Class child movement and music center, said in a statement. "The ensemble includes some of the finest jazz musicians in the country, and it really swings."

The Music Class is sponsoring Gransden's visit.

Before the Mar. 20 concert, Gransden will hold a private jazz workshop for Centennial High band students, as well as members of the jazz bands at Haynes Bridge Middle and Holcomb Bridge Middle.
