Ace Kelly: Jazz Musician in New York

About Ace Kelly

Ace Kelly is a New York City–based jazz artist who appears regularly on the city’s club circuit, including sets at Nublu. Their work is often heard in collaborative formats, sharing bills and bandstands with Rena Angel, The Mill, and Soul Jam, including the program titled *Rena Angel, Ace Kelly & The Mill and Soul Jam*. Kelly’s approach favors ensemble listening and steady phrasing over spectacle. In performance, they move easily between lead lines and supportive roles, shaping the room through time and dynamics rather than volume.
