With her sassy, old-time sound and vast knowledge of pre-World War II songs, Oakland vocalist Kally Price inhabits a musical realm where jazz, blues and pop songs fraternize freely. After Hurricane Katrina cut short her move to New Orleans, Price landed in the Bay Area where she and her all-star band have thrived performing popular and obscure blues and jazz songs from the pre-war era. Inspired by the “purity of expression, individuality and spirituality” in vintage recordings she’s made it her mission “to give voice to these old songs and stories, and to make my own songs inspired by the soulfulness of the old blues, gospel and jazz masters.”
