The composer and pianist Kelly Brand writes songs which carry the listener to places simultaneously evident and quite unfamiliar. She effectively taps into essential elements of living and being human. Brand's way of playing embraces a simple and selfless honesty. She doesn'y throw her music at you, but rather extends it as an invitation.

Brand has been an active performer on the Chicago jazz scene for over a
decade. Besides club and lounge gigs she has played three times at the
Chicago Jazz Festival. In 1995 she performed at the Ravinia summer jazz
series with her Sextet and in 2000 at the Elkhart Jazz Festival with her new
Nextet.
