($25-$35 + DICE fees | 6:30pm & 8:30pm Shows) NYC vocalist & pianist Kelly Green returns to the Century Room for an encore performance after her sold out show in 2025!

Kelly Green (piano & voice) Elijah J. Thomas (flutes) Luca Soul Rosenfeld (bass) Evan Hyde (drums)

Steinway Artist Kelly Green transforms emotional experiences into whimsical jazz worlds. She plays and sings with the mysterious knowingness of someone who has felt deeply and returned wiser, now offering musical gifts wrapped in rhythm and rhyme.

A pianist, vocalist, composer, and bandleader, Green leads her trio through theatrically intricate, lyric-driven ballads, high-energy swing, and heroic instrumental compositions. Her sets weave original works with reimagined pieces by Mulgrew Miller, Duke Ellington, Blossom Dearie, and more — bridging eras with a distinctive touch.

Green has performed and recorded with Christian McBride, Steve Wilson, Scott Robinson, George Coleman, and Billy Hart, and has sold out venues including The Kennedy Center, Birdland, and Dizzy’s. Her fifth album, Corner of My Dreams — a surrealist, storybook journey through love, grief, and imagination — released August 2025, was awarded two Global Music Awards and has reached over 1 Million streams.

She performs with her quartet comprised of longstanding rhythm section Evan Hyde (drums) and Luca Soul Rosenfeld (upright bass) augmented by the unparalleled Elijah J. Thomas (flutes).

Even in the largest halls, Kelly Green plays as if you’re the only one in the room.

JUNIPER DJINN

Clarinet dreamscapes amongst a sea of melodious waltzes, the billowing sounds of early American jazz, gypsy jazz, and Balkan folk music make up the core sounds of Juniper Djinn. The duos originals reflect a familiar feeling of 30s & 40s nostalgia and timeless tunes ingrained deep within traditional American and European jazz. The duo is best known for their live performances in which they play an array of genres spanning across decades of time and regularly features other musicians from across the globe.

Singer, clarinet player, and rhythm guitarist Jessica Fleet is the main vocal of the group with a voice that has been described as an angel and a demon singing in harmony with her powerful vocals, dynamic vocal range, and deep growl. Famed Baby Gramps quoted her as his “favorite singer” and compared her to the great Bessie Johnson. “That voice is a force of nature and hearing it’s a bright balm shining like a birth cake emerging from a dark wood”. – Charlie Unhau

Multi-instrumentalist Bill Stoller is the other half of the duo with his incredible, studious guitar playing, rhythmic accompaniment, accordion and upright bass on the duos albums. With over a decade of experience playing in different bands and touring Juniper Djinn brings a transformative atmosphere of sound and musicians with each and every show.
