We had the pleasure of hosting jazz-lover Clint Eastwood last night, who came in to enjoy his friend Joe Gransden's Tuesday NIght Jazz Jam! He stayed about two hours and left with a smile on his face. The music was especially smoking, a great vibe throughout the evening!

Eastwood has been in the Atlanta area working on the movie "Trouble With The Curve."

He and Gransden, an Oakhurst resident, have been friends since 2007, when Gransden sent the actor/director a CD of his music on a whim. Eastwood hired him to play at a private party.

Eastwood also visited Gransden's show last month at Cafe 290 in Sandy Springs.

In a phone interview, Wurtzel said the word must have spread about Eastwood's appearance.

"A lot of the bigger players, who normally don't show up on one night, were out last night," he said.
