Kelly Howel

That’s it from us for this week dear reader. If you are one of the many of us heading down to London this weekend for the “hate march” (!) then stay safe. We leave you with the next song in our continuing quest to make AUK readers aware that Aussie singer-songwriter Paul Kelly is one of the seven wonders of the world.

The passionate musician Jimmy Kelly and his Street Orchestra bring a unique and energetic fusion of music and street art on stage. With this innovative project, the powerful-voiced member of the legendary Kelly Family presents not only a musical performance, but rather an inspiring hymn to the joy of life.

Tori Kelly has announced that the deluxe version of her album, TORI., releases on Oct. 11. This new version of the album, called TORI. (+ a lil more), includes four new songs, including collaborations with JoJo and Pink Sweat$. The new songs are "distance," "bottomline," "u" and "beautiful war."

Gene Kelly was never very popular as a singer, even though he did cut records and was seen in movie roles in which he sang – rather, it was his work onscreen as a dancer, choreographer, and director that allowed him to exert a key influence over the popularity of certain song catalogs in the mid-20th century. Showing an early aptitude in both gymnastics and dance, Eugene Curran Kelly, as he was named at birth, had devoured, by his early teens, everything he could about dance in general and ballet in particular. He was already a successful dance teacher in his hometown of Pittsburgh when he began his ascent in the original Broadway production of Richard Rodgers' and Lorenz Hart's Pal Joey. This led to a film contract with David O. Selznick, which was sold to MGM before Kelly even reported to Hollywood.

Led by brothers Willy (vocals, guitar) and Cody Braun (vocals, fiddle, mandolin, harmonica), alternative country-rock outfit Reckless Kelly formed in Bend, Oregon before relocating to Austin, Texas in January 1997. The Brauns had previously toured with their father in Muzzie Braun & the Boys, a Western swing band, and were joined in their own group by lead guitarist Casey Pollock, bassist Chris Schelske, and drummer Jay Nazz. Reckless Kelly's debut album, Millican, appeared in 1998. Acoustic: Live at Stubb's and Day both followed two years later, after which David Abeyta replaced Pollock on lead guitar.

»Ich hatte mir eigentlich vorgenommen, ein Album ohne das Thema Liebe zu machen. Ich bin kläglich daran gescheitert. Ich kann wohl nicht anders. ›Nur Liebe‹ bewegt mein Herz.«

During the mid-'50s, Sarah Vaughan spent most of her time recording songbook standards backed by a large orchestra in florid arrangements, with only the occasional breath of fresh air like her masterpiece, 1954's Sarah Vaughan with Clifford Brown. Four years after that milestone, another landed with the live album At Mister Kelly's. Recorded quite early in the days of the live LP, the album captured Vaughan at her best and most relaxed, stretching out on a set of late-night torch songs and ballads.

Die Klasse A der Musik ist für mich in allen Disziplinen die Klassik. Schon in jungen Jahren habe ich mich in sie verliebt und diese Leidenschaft hat meine Seele bis heute nie verlassen, egal ob für Violine, Klavier, klassische Gitarre, Flamenco-Gitarre, Ballett und vor allem klassischer Gesang. In späteren Jahren, nachdem ich die Welt bereist und eine erstaunliche Karriere mit meiner Familie in der Pop-Musik, als Solist, Musik-Produzent, Arrangeur, Instrumentalist, Coach und Performer hingelegt habe, entdeckte ich das Feuer für klassischen Gesang in meiner Seele neu, hatte es doch das ganze Leben lang in meinem Herzen gebrannt.
