“Kelly Green does something few artists can — she redraws the contours
of jazz itself.” (Paris-Move)

Gather ’round, let me tell you a secret: Steinway Artist Kelly Green
transforms emotional experiences into whimsical jazz worlds. She plays
and sings with the mysterious knowingness of someone who has felt
deeply and returned wiser, now offering musical gifts wrapped in rhythm
and rhyme.

A pianist, vocalist, composer, and bandleader, Green leads her ensemble
through theatrically intricate, lyric-driven ballads, high-energy swing, and
heroic instrumental compositions. Her sets weave original works with
reimagined pieces by Mulgrew Miller, Duke Ellington, Blossom Dearie,
and more — bridging eras with a distinctive touch.

Critics call her “one of the most gifted vocalists working today” (Paris-
Move) and “one of the most quietly revolutionary vocalists of her generation”
(Thierry De Clemensat). Jazz legend Christian McBride describes her as “one of
the most talented and spirited people I know.” In 2025, her magnetic performances
and undoubtedly-cool band chemistry earned her a Jazz Roads Touring Grant.
Green has performed and recorded with Christian McBride, Rich Perry, Steve Wilson,
Scott Robinson, George Coleman, and Billy Hart, and has sold out venues including
The Kennedy Center, Birdland, and the DC Jazz Festival. Her fifth album, Corner of My Dreams
— a surrealist, storybook journey through love, grief, and imagination — was released in
August 2025 and won her two Global Music Awards for Best Jazz Album and
Emerging Artist. Even in the largest halls, Kelly Green plays as if you’re the only one in the
room.
