"I Walk A Little Faster" by Cy Coleman - Kelly Green Solo Piano - Live at Sear Sound

My first encounter with this song came when a friend of mine showed me Blossom Dearie’s recording of it. Blossom Dearie is one of my favorite artists mainly because of her repertoire choices. She was the first to record a lot of Cy Coleman’s compositions. She recorded and performed many songs that are uncommon, but have lyrics that tell stories and evoke scenes that take the listener into nature. When I first heard this song I was single in NYC longing to find love. When I heard the bridge section, I cried, feeling that it was the story of my life. My solo piano version was recorded on a gorgeous Steinway grand at Sear Sound in Manhattan. I gave myself an hour at the piano with the mics and cameras rolling to let loose and play whatever came to mind. A lot of free improvisation ensued, and this song came right out of that impromptu free play. After listening to every version I could find I discovered on Tony Bennett’s version that there is a very short verse, bringing us right into Manhattan (where I was living when I first heard the original version by Blossom)! I also discovered that all the versions I found were very straight ahead utilizing acoustic instruments and I wanted to add a little tinge of modernity by recording it on my Nord. I added drive to the electric piano sound as the track went on to add to the yearning effect…yearning for love and striving for hope despite the feelings of desperation to find true love.

Hello!

Thank you for visiting my site!

My name is Kelly Green.

 I am a pianist, vocalist, composer, lyricist, bandleader, arranger and educator based in NYC. 

My music serves as a platform to underscore the significance of spiritual and mental well-being and proactive engagement with climate issues.

 

Through my artistry, musical integrity, strong leadership skills, and aesthetic I want to empower women by setting an example, showing them that they can be strong leaders in the music and business worlds.

I aim to challenge and redefine conventional notions by showcasing that strong leadership and musical excellence are inherently feminine qualities and to detract from the stigma of sexualized and objectified women in music and entertainment.

I am proudly a Steinway Artist!
