Album Review

The musical pairing of two alto saxophonists, Grace Kelly and Lee Konitz, on Gracefullee is a May-December wedding with a vengeance. At the January 2008 session, Konitz was 80 years old, and Kelly was 15. Happily, you wouldn't know that simply by listening to the disc, which began with the intention of only doing two songs, but grew to a full-length CD. Konitz has been a sponsor of Kelly, so his influence on her is to be expected, and the similarity between them is on display on "You Don't Know What Love Is." But differences are apparent elsewhere. On "There Is No Greater Love," which begins with Kelly and ends with Konitz, she seems careful and precise, while he takes off. The two get to fly on two numbers, "Alone Together" and "Buzzing Around," when they are unaccompanied by other musicians, with "Buzzing Around" made up on the spot. Other numbers are also done as "free improvisation," notably the closer, "NY at Noon," in which bassist Rufus Reid, guitarist Russell Malone, and drummer Matt Wilson also join in. This album may not have been planned as such, but it ends up being as accomplished a session as many that were set out in advance.

Wonderfulee Gracefullee

How can anyone not love this very mature sound emanating from the heart and soul of a sixteen year old young lady who was born to play jazz! I heard her interview on XM Radio Classic Jazz and she talked about going to jazz clubs as a young 2-3 yr. old and falling asleep after hours of listening to great players. Grace talked about listening to Stan Getz (her Mother's favorite musician) during morning breakfast. At 5 years old Grace switched from clarinet to play the sax and immediately fell in love with the instrument. She is nothing short of phenomenal! Now at 16 she has recorded this latest of five albums in her very young life. This "one take" session is our blessing. Like she said, "it was a truly magical session and I will never forget it. "I am so fortunate to be able to play the music I love". Think of what today's generations have to look forward to when Grace plays! All I can say is . . . we are graced by her presence!

Biography

Born: May 15, 1992 in Wellesley, MA

Genre: Jazz

Years Active: '00s

Not to be confused with the famous Philadelphia-born actress who became Princess Grace of Monaco and died in 1982, the Grace Kelly profiled in this bio is a straight-ahead jazz saxophonist/singer who had several albums in her catalog before she was 17. The precocious New England native has made the alto sax her primarily instrument, but she also plays the tenor and soprano saxes — and Kelly can play clarinet, flute, acoustic piano, and drums, as well. At times, Kelly will put down her saxophone...
