Kelly Green - Eat Your Greens (2026) [Hi-Res]

A jazz musician and composer has released a studio album inspired by deep spiritual philosophy and the living legacy of jazz legends. The decision to move to New York and pursue a professional career was guided by the personal mentorship and philosophy of legendary pianist Mulgrew Miller (Mulgrew Miller), who emphasized deep listening and authentic emotional commitment to every note. The artist's creative ethos was further shaped by pianist Harold Mabern (Harold Mabern), whose lessons in humility and maintaining a "beginner's mind" formed the foundational principle of this recording.

Conceptually, the album bridges traditional Afro-American improvisation with Eastern spiritual practices and philosophy, drawing on the teachings of Indian yogi Lahiri Mahasaya and saxophonist Wayne Shorter (Wayne Shorter). The record frames music-making as a continuous meditative practice fostering physical, mental, and spiritual harmony. Recorded alongside a close circle of collaborators, including bassist and co-producer Luca (Luca), the album's sonic layout spans contemporary jazz, acoustic jazz, and spiritual jazz.
