About
Steinway artist Kelly Green is an award winning pianist, vocalist, and composer known for her rare ability to accompany herself with both the precision of a master pianist and the warmth of a gifted vocalist. She leads her ensembles through a widely diverse repertoire, showcasing emotionally potent, genre-defying original music seamlessly woven with reimagined works by Mulgrew Miller, Duke Ellington, and selections from the Blossom Dearie songbook and Jazz canon. Green draws listeners in with an alluring presence, making each performance both deeply personal and universally resonant. Her recordings have earned critical acclaim, with *Corner of My Dreams* described as “one of the best Jazz vocal albums of the year” (Marc Meyers, Jazz Wax). Christian McBride calls her “one of the most talented and spirited people I know,” and All About Jazz lauds her as “an artist and performer in toto.” She has shared the stage with musical visionaries such as Wycliffe Gordon, George Coleman, and Billy Hart, and has sold-out at venues and festivals including The Kennedy Center, Dizzy’s Club, Birdland Theater, Ronnie Scott’s, DC Jazz Festival, and EFG London Jazz Festival. For this very special concert Green will be performing selections from her latest album *Eat Your Greens* with her long-standing, world-class quartet, Evan Hyde on drums, Luca Soul Rosenfeld on the upright bass, and Elijah J. Thomas on the flutes alongside featured guests, Steve Wilson on alto sax, Wallace Roney Jr. on trumpet, and Scott Robinson on tenor saxophone.
