​

This lady is a study in jazz's cool, its phrasing, its nuance, and its sophistication. Kelly has wowed ‘em all over the world with her classic swing and elegance. Many call themselves jazz singers, but Nancy Kelly is the real deal.

Nancy's sense of phrasing is particularly arresting. Kelly explores the nuances of lyrics as intently as a jeweler inspects a world-class gemstone
