| Kellylee Evans' debut CD Kellylee Evans' debut CD "Fight or Flight?" will officially be released on Friday, May 5th at a CD Launch Party at Lula Lounge, Toronto. The album, by the second place winner of the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition, may be one of the most anticipated independent releases of its kind in Canada this year. The album is an eclectic and focused effort, held together by Kellylee Evans' rich expressive, effortless vocal range. Fans of Carmen McRae, Sarah Vaughan, Norah Jones, Sade, Jill Scott and Erykah Badu will enjoy her music. From the sultry "What About Me?" to the reggae-flavoured "Let's Call A Truce Tonight", the playful "Who Knows, " about going with the flow to the addictive "Hooked", it is evident why judges like Quincy Jones, Al Jarreau, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Kurt Elling, Jimmy Scott and Flora Purim chose Kellylee out of a pool of over 160 gifted vocalists from around the world. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Jazz News :: home page |
