Event Details
Rekindling the vibes of her early 1980s, five-year run at Phillys famed Jewells Jazz Club, vocalist Nancy Kelly gathers her musical familysaxophonist Jerry Weldon, guitarist Dave Stryker, drummer Carmen Intorre Jr, and the young organ phenom, William Gormanfor a deeply soulful set of swinging standards, bop, and pop tunes. The legendary saxophonist Houston Person guests on two tracks, and NYC guitarist Charlie Sigler and saxophonist Joe Carello join Kelly on Joni Mitchells Be Cool. Dynamic and full of life, from the swinging Devil May Care, through broad, emotional ballads such as Now at Last and Let It Be Me, to the churning, barroom swing of her own original Shakin Out My Blues, Nancy Kelly displays a divine sense of pacing, mood, emotion and musical savvy throughout this powerful set.Kelly has paid her dues in jazz and as a result developed into one of the major forces in this idiom, perhaps the best of them all. - John Gilbert, EjazzNews The band will include:William Gorman - Organ Jerry Weldon - TenorCarmen Intorre Jr. - DrumsCharlie Sigler - Guitar+ Surprise Guest!
