Search - Karin and Mike Kelleher :: Melange - A Music Album of Acoustic Jazz Classical Fusion

Karin and Mike Kelleher's new album Melange not only blends jazz and classical compositions and styles, it also combines different eras, with unique instrumentation, including string quartet, acoustic bass, drums, guitar, oboe, and voice -- all acoustic instruments and performances. Melange celebrates classical and jazz composers influence on one another, highlighting musicians who perform -- and serving listeners who enjoy -- both genres.

"Everything is beautiful here..."
Carol Banks, AXS.com

"...a man sweetly singing about masks and moonlight,
conjures up images of an unusually sophisticated nightclub."
Tim Smith, The Baltimore Sun

"...these thoughtfully rendered pieces have the quality of art song. A showcase of complex meter, harmonic creativity, and vocal alacrity is rarely so listenable. When it's over, you miss it."
Roxane Assaf, Huffington Post
