Editorial Reviews

About the Artist

Kellylee Evans is a unique voice in the urban-jazz world - and many of today’s top musicians and producers have taken notice. With a smooth style that slides through jazz, soul, R’nB, blues and world music rhythms, Kellylee’s calming sound speaks volumes; Rich, soothing, robust and energizing, this eclectic artist ignites inspiration. Kellylee was born in Toronto, Canada and was reportedly heard "vocalizing" in church at three months old. In her youth, she performed at various community shows and was a member of the Toronto Mendelssohn Youth Choir - all the while juggling school and five jobs. "I was a gifted child who had ulcers from the age of 15," Evans recalls with a laugh. At age 18, Evans entered Carleton University for legal studies, where she was part of a school jazz combo. She also took night and summer school courses to earn a second degree in English literature. Evans intended to get a PhD, but changed direction during her masters to pursue music - her greatest desire. In 2001, Evans met Chicago-born bassist Lonnie Plaxico (Art Blakey, Chet Baker, Dexter Gordon, Wynton Marsalis, Cassandra Wilson, Cyndi Lauper) when he was playing with Ravi Coltrane at the Ottawa Jazz festival. The outgoing Kellylee talked to him at the jam session and he convinced her to join him on stage. Three years later, assisted by Plaxico, Kellylee flew to New York for a whirlwind recording session with top artists whose credits include: Cassandra Wilson, Ravi Coltrane, George Benson, Art Garfunkel, Billy Joel, The Manhattan Transfer, Erykah Badu, Roberta Flack and Common. Also in 2004, Kellylee was awarded 2nd place in the prestigious Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition, held at Kennedy Center in Washington. The judges, Quincy Jones, Al Jarreau, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Kurt Elling, Jimmy Scott and Flora Purim chose Kellylee out of a pool of over 160 gifted vocalists from around the world. Since that time, Kellylee Evans has been a regular contributor to national radio and television. She was recently seen on an episode of the new sitcom, “Getting Along Famously” sharing the screen with entertainer Wayne Brady (Whose Line Is It Anyway, The Wayne Brady Show.) She recently performed with award-winning saxophonist, Jane Bunnett at the annual Global Divas concert. From the sultry "What About Me" to the bluesy "I Don't Think I Want To Know," to the reggae-flavored "Let's Call A Truce Tonight" and sexy poetical Spanish vibe of "Rapunzel," the album is an eclectic and focused effort, held together by Kellylee's rich, expressive, effortless vocal range.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta get her CD, May 12, 2006
By 
M. D. Benoit (Ottawa, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: fight or flight? (Audio CD)
Fight or Flight is an amazing mix of rythms, sensitive lyrics, energy, and emotion. It doesn't feel like a first CD. The musicians are extraordinary, the arrangements superb, and Kellylee's voice becomes one of the best intruments in the mix. The result is a polished, moving set of tracks that gain at being listened to over and over again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Illluminating!, July 13, 2009
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: fight or flight? (Audio CD)
Kellylee Evan's voice is rich and sweet and fills a space with such light that it is hard to leave it. Upon entering that space you become aware of everything around you, every color, shape, even scent is illuminated by her voice. Her style is a bit Simone, Vaughn, a bit Mitchell and a host of others and she masters each song (there is not a miss among them). Fight or Flight is a masterpiece. I have turned a lot of folks on to this artist. We all hope to hear more from her. Buy it......clear the room....sit and watch the wonder. Remember I told you so.

5.0 out of 5 stars Knock your socks off......, July 23, 2006
By 
World Traveler (Snowmass Village, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: fight or flight? (Audio CD)
To hear her most memorable voice is a soulful experience.... To see her in person is not to be missed. Attended a JazzAspen benefit where she was performing -- and she is surely one of the most memorable artists to come down the jazz highway in recent years.... Fantastic!
