Grace Kelly - 15 year old alto saxophonist

[Ed]

This young girl has a ton of talent and you've probably seen her playing with Phil Woods.

Just caught this interesting article in the Los Angeles Times http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/ne ... 9293.story

From youtube if you missed it:

Isn't she fantastic!

I've used those videos fairly extensively in an academic ESL class I teach. It's a kind of faux sociology class, and I use Grace as example in the unit on "nature vs. nurture."

I haven't heard her sing yet.

I like a good blues. Listen without watching the players.

Those near Soutwestern Colorado should go see her at the Telluride Jazz Festival. Looks like she's playing several of the days June 2-8.

What a beautiful venue!
