Jazz fest musicians inspire audience

SENIOR OF THE YEAR

This Week ELIZABETHTOWN

IN LAKE LUZERNE

By Thom Randall thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — Wunderkind Jazz Saxophonist and singer Grace Kelly , 19, stepped of fstage Satur day, Sept. 17 after an encor e that evoked tears of joy in some spectators’ eyes at the Lake George Jazz Weekend. Within minutes, dozens of people stood in line for autographs from a woman who as a 12-year -old girl wowed her first jazz audience with her musical innovation. Kelly’s soaring impr ovisation and musical interplay with her talented band member, tr umpeter Jason Palmer, has since pr opelled her to play twice each at the Newport Jazz Festival and the Montr eal Jazz Festival, in Paris, Vienna, and in Lincoln Center with W ynton Marsalis for Pr esident Obama’s inauguration. Saturday night, she was in Shepard Park in Lake George, with her music and commentary charming one of the largest audiences ever at the jazz festival, which in its 28th year has become one of the leading venues in the Northeast to hear the finest jazz musicians alive — in an intimate setting.
