Pianist composer Kim Kalesti’s “The Book of Kimistry” combines the power of music and words. Kimistry facilitates a journey into the collective consciousness where the deepest truths reside to encounter all that is love, all that is known and all that is free. 21st century parables-in-song tell stories about resentment, friendship, forgiveness, and love with beautiful melodies that float on top of jazz, funk, rock and samba grooves. Kim on vocals and piano, Jake Sinclair on electric bass, and Olive Faber on drums plus special surprise guests.
Composer, singer, songwriter, pianist, and storyteller Kim Kalesti has been a visionary in New York City for over 40 years enchanting audiences with her evocative, jazz inflected compositions about love, nature, and her life journey. Kim's son AC Lincoln is an accomplished tap dancer and vocalist and her daughter Emily King is a four time Grammy nominated recording artist.
Embraced by the NY Jazz scene in the 1980s, Kim has performed with legends such as Dizzy Gillespie, Joe Williams, Betty Carter, and Clark Terry. From 1980 to 1997 her jazz vocal duet album with Marion Cowings, “Kim and Marion” was produced by Swing Journal Japan’s Kyoshi “Boxman” Koyama and featured pianist Kenny Barron, bassist Eddie Gomez, drummer Al Foster, and saxophonist Gary Bartz.
