Description
Nancy Kelly:
Kelly’s refined stage presence, style, grace, and the ability to quickly capture the emotions of her audience isn’t the only thing that places Nancy in a league of her own--the lady was born to swing, and she means business.
Starting at age four in her hometown of Rochester, New York, Nancy studied piano, clarinet, drama and dance with private instructors, and voice at the Eastman School of Music.
During her thirty-plus year career she has honed her trademark swing/bop take no prisoners style in front of audiences across the U.S. and abroad--from Singapore to Switzerland, from Turkey to her 3 tours of Japan.
Nancy appears regularly in New York City including performances at The Blue Note, Birdland and The Rainbow Room. She works frequently in Los Angeles and Miami, as well as countless jazz clubs, festivals, and symphony orchestra engagements across the country.
Downbeat magazine’s reader’s poll voted Kelly the title of "best female jazz vocalist" two years in a row.
All of Miss Kelly’s accomplishments and accolades are testament to the fact that a great jazz voice doesn't happen overnight. More than any other instrument the voice gains its resonance and soulfullness from the life experiences of the body that surrounds it. To paraphrase Bird--If you haven't lived it isn't going to come out of your horn.
Nancy Kelly has lived it. She is, in every respect,
"The Real Deal".
Singer performing in New York and the Caribbean. Contains biography, recordings, and tour schedule.

Kybo Funk Central: Formed in the summer of 1998, Kybo originated through the dedication of two talented and experienced brothers: Gary and Roy Whalen. Based in the young and vibrant city of Brighton, the rest of the band quickly came together through word of mouth and an instinctive, mutual love of jazz-funk music.
Their sound could be described as mixture of defined lyrical melodies, an often persistent and driving bass line fused with a crashing hip-hop beat, irresistible washes of chords from the keyboards and classic funk guitar. After just over one year together, Kybo have already made quite an impact locally in and around Brighton and the South coast - playing a wide variety of venues, from Winchester to Battle ...
Information, songs and pictures of the three vocalists who front the Kybo dynamic jazz-funk band.
