Kellylee Evans - Fight or Flight? (2006)

Borrowing liberally from jazz, soul, world music and R & B, Kellylee Evans' debut "fight or flight?" is an ecletic treat, all held together by her rich, expressive voice. Listeners have long claimed that her music is a deceptive drug, creating an eerie calm yet energizing them at the same time. In 2004, Evans was the 2nd place winner of the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Vocals Competition held in Washington, D.C. Judges like Quincy Jones and Al Jarreau tapped this young singer as an upcomer to watch. This debut CD tells us why. With each successive note, she boldly lays the groundwork for a new era in original vocal jazz. This is a CD for any true collection.
