Finnish phenom Johanna Grüssner possesses a voice of such quality that her performances virtually define the standard for jazz vocals today. She used this extraordinary talent to influence a remarkable group of students to emerge from the shadows of a public school in the Bronx, revealing a passion for music that astounded school officials and impressed audiences. Johanna Grüssner's story has been featured on NPR, and in the book Seven Days of Possibilities by author Anemona Hartocollis. No More Blues is produced by 32-time GRAMMY nominee, John Snyder. In his 30-year career, Snyder has worked with a virtual who's who of modern jazz -- Jim Hall, Paul Desmond, Ornette Coleman, Dave Brubeck, the Thad Jones-Mel Lewis Orchestra and Charlie Haden.
