Kim Nalley

Kim Nalley makes it all happen with a powerful 3½ octave range that easily captivates her audiences. Whether it’s a bold and brassy jump-blues or a cool and laidback ballad, Nalley imbues vintage tunes with an infectious energy. Over the years, she has earned generous accolades on her journey from small clubs to international concert halls. Her versatility is apparent in collaborations with jazz luminaries such as Rhoda Scott and Houston Person. Nalley’s special tributes to vocal legends Billie Holiday, Nina Simone and Ella Fitzgerald also spotlight her talents as an actress and playwright. Ballads For Billie is her most recent solo CD.
