Julie Kelly - Kelly Sings Christy: Thou Swell

In 1985, while singing at a Los Angeles club, vocalist Julie Kelly encountered June Christy. June walked up to Julie, grasped her hands, looked into her eyes and warmly said "have a great set!". The vocalist who had conquered Europe and won jazz polls across the world completely floored the young and vulnerable Julie, who knew the words June uttered were sincere. Here, she pays tribute to the legendary vocalist and draws from the library of material she recorded with the Stan Kenton Orchestra, including "It Might As Well Be Spring," "Something Cool," "Gone for the Day" and others.
