Co-led by award-winning jazz artists, vocalist Lisa Kelly and trumpeter JB Scott, the Kelly/Scott Jazz Sextet features six outstanding, internationally travelled Florida-based musicians whose illustrious careers have included jazz clubs to festival stages around the U.S. and throughout the world, including Europe, Canada, the Caribbean, Japan, Russia, and China. Their resumes are extensive, often performing and recording together over their years of freelancing, their career backgrounds are notable, with three members as Jacksonville Jazz Festival “Hall of Fame” Inductees, one who recorded with Buddy Ritch, one a former vocalist with the Larry Elgart Orchestra, one a former leader of the Dukes of Dixieland in New Orleans, and one the former drummer with the Navy Commodores in D.C. This concert brings them together for an engaging, entertaining show of “Classic Swing to New Orleans” repertoire, with favorites from the Great American Songbook, to Modern jazz, and tunes in the spirit of New Orleans. Songs are connected to Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, Oscar Peterson, Stan Getz, Diana Krall, Art Tatum, Clark Terry, Lester Young, Al Hirt, and other jazz notables, in interpretive styles of classic swing, groovin’ St. Beat, Brazilian Bossa Nova, light funk, and jazz Blues.
