Grace Kelly (US) - 10 June

This 18-year-old saxophonist, composer and singer from Massachusetts astounds, baffles and amazes everyone she crosses paths with.

Grace Kelly began playing the saxophone at the age of ten, has already released five albums as well as won a plethora of awards for young jazz musicians. She has been praised by such musical luminaries as Wynton Marsalis, Lee Konitz, Phil Woods, Frank Morgan and Chris Potter to name but a few. She has toured the world and performed at every noteworthy concert establishment.
 
Donald Brown says all you need to know:”The jazz world has another great reason to celebrate with the arrival of Grace Kelly. Her talent makes her a triple threat as a brilliant saxophonist, a very gifted composer, and vocalist with great feeling. Her playing style represents everything I love about jazz, swinging, imagination, and the blues.”
