Paul Austin Kelly and the Kenny Clayton trio wow Jagz Ascot

The live recording of the promotional DVD for Paul Austin Kelly and the Kenny Clayton Trio was hosted by Ascot's premiere live music venue, Jagz.

It was an awe inspiring performance of adult contemporary music, described by one musician in the audience as the very best mellow jazz he had heard in many years, wowed the small but enthusiastic audience.

We all look forward to seeing the DVD when Alex and the team at Bordello Studios have worked their magic!

IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE

One enchanted evening at Jagz

“Paul Austin Kelly and Kenny Clayton are a duo made in heaven,” according to celebrated UK soprano Lesley Garrett, already a fan of these two talented musicians.

Appearing together in a concert at Jagz of Ascot, enticingly titled “One Enchanted Evening”, the new performing team of Kelly & Clayton will be offering an evening of selections from the Great American Songbook, beloved music from the 30’s through the 70’s.

Capturing the magic of the early decades of American popular music, Kelly and Clayton present a programme of timeless lyrical and sophisticated music. They draw primarily on the works of Rodgers & Hammerstein, Rodgers & Hart and Jerome Kern, but also breathe new life into such diverse descendants of these icons as Dave Frishberg and Billy Joel.

Their repertoire includes the classics People Will Say We’re In Love, Some Enchanted Evening, and I Only Have Eyes for You, songs which were made famous by such legendary American singers as Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holiday and Mel Torme.

Together, the dynamic performing duo of Kelly & Clayton covers all ends of the musical spectrum, from pop to opera, from jazz standards to classical song.

The concert, at Jagz bar, club and live music venue, is part of their Friday night season showcasing local emerging talent, as well as some of the more popular established bands. The music styles vary from week to week and further information is available on the venue’s website http://www.jagz.co.uk/ or by telephoning 01344 878100.

The food on offer on the evening is from their renowned Club menu, table reservations can be made by telephoning the venue.
