These piano jazz instrumentals include world-class talents.
by Brian Kelly —
Kelly on piano, keyboards, percussion and pennywhistle heads into contemporary jazz territory with memorable melodies, fluid chops and richly detailed arrangements.
These upbeat piano jazz instrumentals include world-class talents joining Kelly with occasional sax, flute, trumpet, trombone, acoustic guitar, drums and percussion.
The music is rollicking jazz one moment and soft, uplifting contemporary instrumental reflections the next, with hints of pop sensibilities, world-fusion rhythm patterns and neo-classic structures mixed in.
