Very little is known about the short, tragic life of the remarkable jazz singer, Beverly Kenney. While there are a couple mentions of her being fun and outgoing, most of her friends described her as sad, melancholy, always in some kind of pain and “afraid of everything”.

​Her voice and style, however, belied that description. She was praised by critics and singers alike and, to this day, her recordings can still draw a listener in with the warmth of her tone, the effortless grace of her phrasing and her fearlessness with a melody.

A note from Tony Guerrero: I have gathered a comprehensive collection of information, music and conversations including poring over hundreds of newspapers from the 1950s. I’m hoping this presentation can help introduce Beverly Kenney to a new generation of fans and also serve to tell her story.
