“I will say without the slightest degree of hesitation, that Miss Kelly  is one of  the best female jazz singers that I have ever heard, bar none....I repeat, bar none…”  - John Gilbert,

 

 

 

"Well, Alright!" - Nancy Kelly
with guest Houston Person  (

Nancy Kelly
continues to dazzle audiences with her take-no-prisoners, back-to-the-roots swinging style. In a market place where "little girl" voices are the norm, Ms. Kelly is welcome reminder of what a mature woman sounds like. She takes us back to the time when jazz – and that includes vocal jazz -- was an authentic expression of real emotion.
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 was recorded over a weekend in November 2008 at Bake’s Place, a Seattle area  jazz club, and has all the excitement and warmth inherent in a live performance.
