About this Event

Join acclaimed New York City-based pianist, vocalist, and composer Kelly Green for an engaging and insightful masterclass on learning songs and playing in ensembles. Hailed as one of NYC's most exciting new artists and praised by Christian McBride for her joy and swing, Kelly brings her extensive experience performing with jazz legends like George Coleman, Billy Hart and many more.

In this masterclass, Kelly will guide participants through her method of mastering new repertoire and collaborating effectively within a group setting. Known for her intricate, lyric-driven arrangements of jazz standards and innovative original compositions, she will share techniques on:

  • Efficiently learning and internalizing songs
  • Developing a strong sense of time and groove
  • Enhancing communication and empathy among musicians
  • Creating engaging arrangements in a small group context

Kelly will be joined by her world-class trio featuring Evan Hyde on drums and Luca Soul Rosenfeld on upright bass, who will help demonstrate how to interact dynamically within an ensemble. The session will also include performances of selections from her albums Seems and Corner of My Dreams, offering real-world examples of how to apply these concepts on stage.

Whether you're a vocalist, instrumentalist, or bandleader, this masterclass is perfect for anyone looking to improve their ability to play confidently in a group and make meaningful musical connections. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from one of jazz’s rising stars!


After the class, stay for the show with her amazing trio!
