"WELL, ALRIGHT!" CD
 Nancy Kelly
 produced by SIWJ, 2009

TO PURCHASE, CLICK ORDERING		   In “Well, Alright!” her second outing with High Note recording artist tenor saxophonist Houston Person, (their first was “Born to Swing” in 2006), Nancy shows off her blues and soul chops (she’s already proved she can swing!).

This collection of old and “new” (from the 60’s rather that the 30’s) standards has all the excitement and warmth inherent in a live performance.S

"She can take a song and turn it up or down, and leave you believing that it was meant to be exactly that way.  It takes great jazz chops to do that, and Kelly’s are superb.."
 - from liner notes, Dick Bogle, Jazz Programmer/Writeran

"an electric performance...Run, don't walk for this one."
-- Bruce Crowther, jazz reviewer
