About
Throughout the years, pop and country music have been full of the creative spirit of many a Texan. Kellye Gray grew up in this vast talent pool and after a lifetime lived as a postmodern jazz singer from Texas, but rarely identified as a Texas musician, she dreamt of a way to embrace her heritage. Some tunes will be familiar, but others come strictly from deep in the heart of Texas. The songs transform into bossa nova, shuffle blues, gospel, ballad, fusion and boogaloo. All the tunes have just a hint of Texas and a good dose of jazz. Featuring Adam Shulman on piano, Marcus Shelby on bass and Greg Wyser-Pratt on drums.
