NEW YORK, NY – Jazz in the time of COVID-19 is challenging for the art form. With clubs, concert halls and festivals dark, musicians are struggling to adapt to the new reality. One musician – the Massachusetts-born, 28-year-old saxophonist, composer, vocalist, bandleader and educator Grace Kelly – is poised to bravely blaze a trail through these new performance/multimedia opportunities. Kelly’s self-described “electro jazz-pop” music, along with her lithe dance moves and her silken and soulful saxophone sound, continue to attract new fans worldwide, albeit virtually for the time being.
Kelly next takes the virtual stage at New York City’s 92Y on Saturday, August 29, at 2:00 pm (EDT). She joins saxophonists Charles McPherson, Joe Lovano, Antonio Hart, and pianist Barry Harris, with moderator Gary Giddins, for a conversation and performance titled Celebrating Bird. The event is part of 92Y’s Charlie Parker: Now’s the Time, Celebrating Bird at 100. https://www.92y.org/event/celebrating-bird
