A saxophonist, singer, songwriter, composer and arranger, Kelly has studied saxophone since the age of 10. Her talents far outstrip others her age. Now just 19 years old, Kelly already has recorded and performed with many notable musicians including Dave Brubeck, Wynton Marsalis, and Harry Connick Jr.
“Grace Kelly plays with intelligence, wit and feeling,” Wynton Marsalis said. “She has a great amount of natural ability and the ability to adapt that is the hallmark of a first-class jazz musician.”
