Lilan Kane sings Nancy Wilson

Oakland-based soul singer and composer Lilan Kane (LEE – lawn) is authentic, on and off stage. The sultry honesty in her voice is as raw as her lyrical stories of love, life and self-discovery. A graduate of the prestigious Berklee College of Music, Kane has sold out numerous residencies at Yoshi’s Oakland and SFJAZZ as well as performances at Minton’s Playhouse (NYC), Chris’s Jazz Cafe (Philly), French Quarter Festival (New Orleans), Concord Pavillion, The Mint (LA), Fillmore Jazz Festival and many others.

 In her debut at Keys, Kane will delve into the music of a primary influence with her tribute to an unsurpassed master of musical storytelling, Nancy Wilson. Wilson (1937 –2018) moved effortlessly between jazz, R&B, and pop settings, but her entire approach was shaped by a deep feel for jazz, a path paved by Cannonball Adderley—a charismatic alto saxophonist who was always looking to give fellow musicians a boost. In making the jump from the indie label Riverside to the powerhouse Capitol Records, one of Adderley’s first moves was recording the 1962 hit Nancy Wilson/Cannonball Adderley, an album that established Wilson as a major new voice.
