Jazz In The Neighborhood: Kellye Gray at Rendon Hall

With her stunning musicality and warm, enveloping voice, Kellye Gray is one of the most accomplished jazz vocalists on the national scene. Gray has recorded over half a dozen albums and performed nationally and internationally at world-class venues and festivals including Lincoln Center, the Spoleto Festival, Yoshi's, and SFJAZZ. She has been honored to share the stage with legends Ray Charles, Dizzy Gillespie, Etta James, to name a few.

Her first release, “Standards In Gray,” prompted USA Today to declare “she is simply the most exciting singer to debut.” Kellye’s latest release, “Rendering,” celebrates her 25th year as a professional and was recorded live in the studio in front of a 30 person audience, with no retakes or overdubs. She is the “real deal,” as KCSM’s Alissa Clancy likes to boast, and there ain’t nothing like the real thing, baby. Performing a collection of standards from blues to bebop, she’ll be backed by San Francisco’s own tenor saxophone bebop master, Noel Jewkes along with Adam Shulman (piano), Peter Barshay (bass), and Greg Wyser-Pratt (drums)....
