O’s Notes: Grace Kelly is a singer, saxophonist and composer with a large voice. She sounds at times like a country and western artist but has a unique signature. The best part of her act is her willingness to go with her feelings. This is her debut live recording at Scullers in Boston. We enjoyed the mix of vocals like “Eggshells” with instrumentals like “Summertime” featuring guitarist Pete McCann. The band really cooks on tunes like “Searching For Peace” with a rousing drum solo by Mark Walker. Jason Palmer (t) compliments Grace (on sax) on a swinging rendition of “The Way You Look Tonight”.
